mercy

what does it mean

to give

and to receive?

it means

to give mercy

upon yourself

only innocence

can give

at all

a door nailed shut

gives nothing

i would want

the world waits

for your freedom

your joyous laughter

uncontrived

of mind

Spirit

wholly without your design

to simply be

the One Thing

it is

never two

differences

are but another

name for damnation

only mercy

can

be given
