Reconciliation To Heal Poem by Mwenyeji Spikes

A harsh inclination to compromise
A succession from the truth that borders pain
Sometimes you wonder if you let your heart time enough to heal
Every time you ponder forgiveness it hurts even more
But did you deserve all this misery perpetrated by your own kindred

The memories come flooding right through
Your only hope for redemption dawn on your heart now clearer
You set free your heart when you choose to let go all the pent anger inside
Denied of your childhood the better days taken away from you by your beloved ones
The hurt left scars deeper than the surface but now a cure can be found
Forgiveness and reconciliation is a mile extra but in reconciliation rest is promised

You pose and reflect what it could be if you felt more free
The time to break bread seemingly never too certain
Fathers to sons, mums advice reprieve to their daughters
When we hold hands close our eyes and seek for direction from above
Our wounds seem to heal and our broken bonds seem to redeem their pulse
It may seem a mile stretch but each step brings us closer to freedom, sanity and redemption from hurt
