First Steps to Forgiveness

The first steps to forgiveness,
Harmony renewal of,
Restored communications
And reawakened love,

As well as — more important than
All other benefits which bless
A conflict capably resolved —
Precious self-forgiveness —

Must come that very placement from
At which began the errant course
— Confessing culpability
With genuine remorse

Until removal of the stalker/targeter/vandal/arsonist following her allows her to approach any landlord ~ even for a private parking space ~ and to begin once again to create professional connections and to rebuild her life, this poet presently lives homeless and at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level ~ still working seven days a week to contribute to her society, however.

Arts patrons may visit http://www.UgiftABLE.com , using code #72D-31S, or choose to send a personal check to the poet’s ABLE Nevada account. It takes about two weeks for the poet to be notified of your patronage.
