Forgiveness is a Fading Leaf
May 18, 2017
Forgiveness is a fading leaf,
reddening and decaying
as the whole world grows cold.
Forgiveness falls fast,
as its one connection to truth fades,
and the sullen earth welcomes
a broken promise.
Forgiveness can never be revived.
Instead it must sprout anew
from the seeds of trust and honesty.
