Scorched
Deep within my soul
vengeance smoldered
my sense of peace
anger mouldered
Indignation I felt
entitled to keep
burned my heart
festered seeped
Into each crevice
scorched by flame
mercy needed
my Savior came
Washed away
ash and chars
the only remnant
healing scars

Sigh I so relate to this… Beautifully penned.💞
Thanks.
I can absolutely relate. Bless you, sister.
Love that turn from vengence to healing scars!
I believe the person who suffers most is the one who cannot let go, who cannot forgive. Jesus’ prayer for those who crucified him reminds me of how important forgiveness is. And to think, reflecting on the Our Father, we will be forgiven as we forgive. Not an easy one, heh?
Not easy, but possible with God’s help. I agree that forgiveness is crucial. <3
So important to find that inner peace… vengeance will burn you.
So very true Linda. Vengance can destroy your peace.
I like the description of vengeance and anger destroying one’s sense of peace that one needed an other to resolve. Nice sound.
