Forgive


turn a cheek
forgiving others,
bright lighthouse

~0~0

healing comes
forgiving ourselves,
open hands 

~0~0

He forgives
indifferent hearts,
gold sunrise



Posted for Haiku Heights - Forgive.   This is part of the National Poetry Writing Month.  I used the 3-5-3 syllabic count.

  6. Love how the thought pivots the middle line of each haiku and then there is a complementing visual in the last line! Beautifully crafted!

  16. Beautiful verse, Grace! To forgive is to cause feelings of goodness to come to oneself. Many may not see it this way.
