Forgiveness Within The Web
Remember those
who forgave
you,
and know that
your own act
of forgiveness
will
make you
immortal.
This is the heroism
of losing
personal ego,
and
of you
remembering not to allow
the web
to thrum
with your own
vibrating enmity.

i very much like this poem but its deeper meaning escapes me. especially since the world wide web is not known for forgiveness but I leave room for the possible.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Julius, for reading my work and commenting. I do believe it’s possible if one was raised to believe that we do and say and write the right thing even if we don’t know that others are watching, listening, reading.. Naivate? Perhaps, but if we are going to imagine a world, why not make it a nice one?
DeleteIncredible response to the response. I rather enjoy your thinking and the world has little chance at peace if we shun those who first starting dreaming it a better place.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Helen, for reading and responding.
