A River Running Clear Again

Forgiveness is a quiet thing Like petals opening to morning light Like rain that softens parched earth It asks for nothing, yet gives everything A letting go, like breath released A seed splitting to reach the sun Its roots grasping the unseen depths A river running clear again We carry so much for so long Grudges that settle deep within But when we choose to forgive We free ourselves from that weight Like a wound finally closing its scar Like a bird leaving the cage behind A river running clear again In stillness, peace enters Healing flows like morning light Life is more than the bitterness we hold It is a new day, a chance to start again To rise, breathless, toward the surface Where the sun waits with open arms A river running clear again Let's write a story of renewal Where forgiveness is the ink Where love and peace are the words And we, the ones who choose To flow with grace, like rivers to the sea To flow unbound, like whispers through trees Flow unbound, like whispers through trees Flow with grace, like rivers to the sea A river running clear again
