the gentleness of silence

the gift of forgiveness

I lie under the towering Jacaranda

Face tilted towards the sleeping stars

Marvelling at the gentleness of silence

Relishing the gift I got from looking in the mirror

And holding out forgiveness as an offering

The world fit into my hands easier

Once I stopped blaming myself for every goodbye
