whom to forgive?
when a long time has passed
reminiscing too cares not this heart
for my now has some years old quill
tapestry of composed, vibrant feathers
mirroring artistry of some hundred stars
hitherto, exhibiting the strength from scars
a few shining bright, passing on their extra light
to others, schooling under the guidance of time
tales to forgive, have long tranquilized
the old quill has been sharpening the creative side
