Arrows

against the heart can sting

if released for un-forgiven wrongs.

They will often wound

a person’s spirit. Releasing venom

short cuts brain circuits which

decide right from wrong.

The flip side is full of emotion

tantalizing and heartfelt thoughts

which alter any direction.

We can grasp opportunities

setting aside anger

and forgiving all indiscretions.
