Letting Go
There’s something satisfying about a grudge
tightly grasped and wrapped up
kept always in a clenched fist
it fills the hand
it’s substance cannot be denied
for it is a heavy weight to carry.
Forgiveness cannot be held
it must be given away
no strings to hold onto
it floats like a helium balloon
it weighs nothing and yet
it carries away the heaviness.
