Break free from the yoke of resentment
In which past hurt festers
As you entertain sad sentiment
With bother and boredom blisters.
Break free from the yoke of unforgiveness
In which your mind wallows
Instead progress inherent in forgiveness
As a new life, new rainy season marked by saintly swallows.
Break free from the yoke of remembrance
Of trespasses you received long ago
To which you needn't make reference
Unless fruitful future you forgo.
Break free from the yoke of stubbornness
In which brakes slam your development
Until you allow mind openness
To steer your life to an elevated envelopment.

Very good poem, John! Your message is so relevant and true, even though it's a lesson not many people ever learn. Funny, I just posted one with a similar thought. (Psychosomatic)
