Forgive, and you will see things differently
In this moment a storm rages in the mind.
As the sword brings distraction to the light within
Swing at the proclaimed enemy, to strike at a brother
And each strike is meaningless to the inner light we share
You and I, are both the same.
Both grieving at the world around us,
Two separate entities united in the same disease
A conscious extends its perception around this room
Limiting the degree that it is aware of the oneness we share.
For you and I are united, born of the same spirit which dwells within
The illusions which creep over, like a vine spreading through these walls,
As thoughts to divide the innocent and divine
In two different worlds, we walk not aware,
If I forgive I will see you differently
And the vines will crawl to their origin,
and the sword will be placed on the ground
And I will see you in truth, my siblings all around
I will see you differently as I saw you before,
with a newness and a love I had hidden
I will not hold past grievances against you,
For they are not occurring now.
I hope you will see this new change in me
and learn to see me differently too.
