You’re unforgiving
Once ate at my tormented soul
But it eats at yours
A higher power forgave
I do not trudge alone now

How come forgiveness is so hard and yet one of the things we need the most?

Happy Rally…

Thanks for the comments and for stopping by. A trudger in this case is a person in recovery.
Happy Rally Michael! Beautiful prose here. I adore this piece, what a statement in brevity! Bravo on yet another excellent pen!

Thanks dimples! Have a happy New Year!
Great ending. Haven’t checked out your page in a while but definitely was some good poetry. Loved the ending. Very aggressive against a more modest background. Stood out sharply. Great submission.

Funny how the tables turn. Lesson learned.
Happy Rally

wow Boogulo, very profound. I read of letting go in your poem.
Letting go and moving forward. I appreciate your comment and your visit. Thank you.
Forgiveness is powerful and only for the strongest
Thanks for the comment and for stopping by. I enjoyed reading about the river and the wedding trip.
….once ate at my tortured soul…..well chosen words we all can relate to. Very nicely done!
Thanks again Dan for your kind words.
Happy new year friend!
thats a really deep thought there…
i hope you are doing well now
Life Is Good!
I literally deflated when I finished reading here. Wow.
When you know you’ve done all you can; it’s time to put the brick down and if it has to be carried, let the person who savors the weight carry it.
beautiful poem and image. words we all need to hear.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comment.
A slow tortured walk into a hard end. Well done …
Slow indeed.
Who is your higher power? Is yours the one that forgave?
Who my higher power is, is not relevant to the poem. I would hope everyone’s higher power forgave.
“Once ate at my tormented soul”…very profound line that spoke volumes. An excellent poem…thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your comment and your visit.
Creative and thought provoking, makes you think how hard is sometimes to forgive and how free you feel after that, despite the pain left somewhere inside! Perfect Rally entry! Thanks for visiting my blog, wishing you a great 2011!
Thanks for your comments. You have a good year as well.
there are times that are hard to forgive…
We give emotion a lot of power over our thinking.
wow! you’re good! mines here- http://fiveloaf.wordpress.com/2010/02/14/hunger/
I feel a hunger coming on; just five loafs eh?
wow!

Thanks Jingle!!
LOVE this!
Thanks Shea, I appreciate you saying.
Very well written!! Some people really need to learn to forgive, eh?
Absolutely. Those feelings kill. Thanks for the visit!
Haunting…and true. The inability to forgive would hurt you more than it would hurt the person asking for your forgiveness. Love this! And I love the title, too!
Ouch! I feel your bitterness.
In the past.
