Forgetfulness

Forgetfulness

No need
To prove
I am right.

No desire
To prove that
Others are wrong.

Forgiveness.

Blossoming into
Sublime forgetfulness.

Your heart is the
Power behind the voice
Singing the song of your soul.

Explode into the radiant beauty
Of the final judgment.
When no more do we choose to
Judge ourselves and others.

This is the moment when
We transform each other
Into the words that
Only love can speak.

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
