confronting nemesis

today

i met again my dead father
the skin-walker
he who stole the shell of an other
he who in the only way he knows
calls out to me for

forgiveness

absolution

love

so that he might finally rest
in blessed peace

i have never wished for him to find peace
i have never wished to set him free
i have needed him to suffer
i have needed him to pay

i did not understand his pleas for resolution
for what they were
i did not want to know

today i do know

by god's grace
i hear the truth
resonating
from deep
within my being

the peace i seek
may only come about
through granting
this long-suffering soul

forgiveness

absolution

love

blessed peace
for each of us
must then surely follow

amen








more to come....
