forgiven

she forgives you my dear

because you have always been clear  

of all that speaks of mind 

you have always been as the perfect one 

so put your hands that pray down 

and let the heart come forward to shine 

be not afraid of life and of yourself 

be here as the universe that is empty of form

but rests so filled with peace 

in a settled way that is not of me and mine 

hearken to this word 

as a renunciate that is alone 

and of the quiet wandering way

forgiveness is a putting away of the mental baggage 

it is not saying that you are released from this or that action

because there will always be something else coming 

that needs more forgiveness 

but if you let the mind open to the light 

then all that has or has not been done

melts away into the heart 

like a stream that comes to rest in it's source 

then what is there to forgive?

when this *me* energy dies away

who is in need of forgiveness?

she forgives, 

but she is your soul shining bright as the dawn of knowledge 

she is not separate from you 

because there is no such thing as separation in truth 

and what is here is the most forgiven 

and the most lifting of all

but how can you know it friend 

if you are in your soul as a persona?

how can you know the joy of all?
