there is no word
for forgiveness
no word fits
in this void no word
is exact
to replace it
i have asked for
it in the little actions
that i make
i am more giving now
what i treasure i part with
i am diminished
yet had then become an
invisible giant
confidence hovers in my
hair
this feeling that now
i am clean
after having paid that
much
not the money that you
dream about
not the honor that they
all sought
you must reiterate this:
the most important things
in life
are free,
the heart sees more
than the mind
or the eyes which had
then become blind
to all the obvious matters,
i no longer juggle
for the semantics of words
or the notoriety of
sophistry
i have not spoken a
word
but you always understand
you are so silent
and i always nod.
our hands speak, our eyes
speak more
than what the tongue deserves.
i do not even have to
touch you
or your garment
for me to keep this faith.

Forgiveness is a nice value and there is no alternative to it. We should realize this truth. An excellent poem is very well penned.10
