Looking Back in Sadness...

A wave of sadness hits me
and i know not why
so i turn another page
and write as i cry
sometimes it's as if
there is a mote in my eye
i have never been able to remove...

If the Truth will set you free,
what will that release?
We do not seek the same peace,
we are not of the same mind...
All i have ever wanted to be is kind
and receive kindness in return
but it is the gentle soul,
who reaches as a friend,
with only pure intentions
and without pretense
that is all too many times burned...

Little wonder all the jaded,
now perhaps you see
how your soul has faded
for all the years in the fire
have only scorched your soul
and hardened your heart
Let go of Anger, let go of Regret
for truly what you reap is what you get
Forgiveness is pure because we truly never forget
but we can change the memory...
