Forgiveness comes from within the heart,
we have to open up to let it breath,
releasing all our inner love.
Sometimes people make mistakes
and we have to let it pass right through,
forgiveness comes from within the heart.
When intent is not their motivation
and lack of judgment is the cause,
we have to open up to let it breath.
Let it go without another thought,
for it works joyously when
releasing all our inner love.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Cascade
Cascade, a form created by Udit Bhatia, is all about receptiveness, but in a smooth cascading
way like a waterfall. The poem does not have any rhyme scheme; therefore, the layout is simple. Say the first verse has three lines. Line one of verse one becomes the last line of verse two. To follow in suit, the second line of verse one becomes the last line of verse three. The third line
of verse one now becomes the last line of verse four, the last stanza of the poem. See the structure example below:
a/b/c, d/e/A, f/g/B, h/i/C
To make the Cascade an even longer poem, use more lines in verse one. For example, if verse
one has 6 lines, the poem must have seven stanzas so that each line of verse one is reused as a refrain in each following stanza (a cascading effect).
What a nice and timely poem, I just posted "To Err Is Human", but this time it is forgiving one's self for the mistakes we make in this journey..Thank you for sharing.
Who doesn't make mistakes.
We all are guilty. We have to
learn to let it go. Nice poem.
Nice poet.
