Forgiveness | Sammy Jennings

There is something beautiful, ethereal

about the mercy that you give.

How your soul seems to open up.

The stitches of your heart unravel at the seam of a touch.

And your hands become light again, replacing the stone that was once a part of you.

It must be the way you are capable of doing the hardest thing:

how can you love those who hate you?

I am unconditionally at your grace,

letting myself succumb to the love which I didn’t believe I had.

From you, I can be whole again,

but only if I let myself accept your infinite gifts.
