Notes About The Poem

for the 'Forgiveness or Solitude' Poetry Contest of Ink Empress

_______________________________________________________________________

Field of Forgiveness

Come to the field of forgiveness
when you are feeling low.
If negativity nags at you,
you need to let it all go.

Let go of your bitterness.
Bluebells will beckon to you.
These meadow empaths feel your pain.
Your soul they will renew.

Lie down near lovely flowered spaces.
Take a whiff of the fragrance of
lilac, lavender and larkspur.
Breathe the pure scent of love.

Lay down anger and hatred.
Hostility you must release
if you want to know in life
happiness and peace.

Kneel beside white lilies and
offer up a heartfelt prayer.
Touch the petals of roses red.
Feel the good Lord’s care.

Compassion toward those who hurt you
in your heart you will sow
when you visit the field of forgiveness
where the greatest miracles grow.

I really love the wisdom and truth youv woven into this poem, with such brilliant rhymes and flow of lines. We live in a world that is bitter and cold and its important to always remind others to be forgiving and to not dwell on things: theres a softness and gentle voice in your poem and i love the smell of flowers and how youv ended the poem too. Compassion is what those that hurt us deserve as those who hurt others must be hurting too! Profound take! Thank you for sharing, congrats on your win
