"Within the business

of forgiveness
it’s best not to forget the meaning
nor withdraw to dreaming
while washing away the past
with mere fake smiles and laughs.

The exchange should be quite fluid

like leaving the land of the ruins
to enter the land of bliss
while keeping eyes opened and quick
not walloping into the dark
with happiness, trust, torn apart.

Perspectives shouldn’t bind us in chains

and truth-telling shouldn’t get in the way
of being a loyal good soul
to the greatest friend we both know —
each other —
And love, loving another.

Forgiveness, oh, such is bliss."
