Forgiveness

I forgive the wine
I forgive the the rim of the glass, the tips of my lips and the love they made
I forgive the music, my footsteps, my sways
I forgive my fire, my passion, my cravings
I forgive my desire to fall and be caught
I forgive my infatuated trip into illusion
I forgive the shyness, the escape, the hiding

Just like the sun forgives us

At every glimpse of a sunrise

For our nightly delusions
Washing the earth with its rays

Motherly, compassionately, vast-heartedly
I forgive myself

For thinking we were two
