Forgiveness

Hear the hurt then

Empty it

grace will fill in those nook and crevices where it sat holding pain

dance to the silent tune of breath,

Intently slow now, it skilfully reverberates into new patterns

Keep searching the hidden trove

Pain’s usual hideout

That which sits between heart and will

let it move on and ground

Let dynamism wash away all that needed to pass by you

Unscathed

Let grace be you

– Poet and Counsellor Rupika Moitra
