The Cloak Of Forgiveness

Kurt Philip Behm

With death on the floor,

he tried to hang up his salvation

 

But the coat hook to eternity

was full

 

The closet door to redemption,

now locked from the inside

 

The cloak of forgiveness,

—for someone else to wear

    Some stuff we do is unpardonable. I have a tough time just forgiving myself for past stupidities. Nicely done.
