True sight.
The capacity of insight,
Beyond the heart's desires,
Looking hard into the night,
Beyond the flames of love's fires.

Words echoing in mental sound,
Knowing the questions.
Now with answers found,
Brings truth beyond suggestions.

Not lingering in what was lost,
But striving forward to stay free.
Remembering well the cost,
And how it hurt me.

I cannot write it all away,
As something of no worth,
But I can hold this day,
As I continue my search.

Kindness brought indifference,
Caring brought shadows,
Expression caused interference,
And communication became shallow.

Yet, it really was all long ago,
And slow as the cycle of time,
The understanding now is a steady flow,
And forgiveness is once again mine.
