LINES OF THOUGHT © 2013

Before your conscience, reprove the errors of the past,

For it is in her that true judgement is cast.

Do not ignore them, nor cloak them in vain excuses,

But face them with courage, like one who cleanses their own hands.

The past is gone, but the lesson remains,

And it is in recognising the error that the spirit gains.

The conscience is a guide, a mirror that does not lie,

It reflects what you were and what you are, deeply nigh.

To reprove the errors is not to condemn without grace,

It is to accept that in falling there is also a place.

For in acknowledging your flaws, you find the way,

Of transformation, of repentance, towards a more divine day.

Let your conscience guide you with clarity,

So that, in reproving the errors, you may find your rarity.

And with humility, follow the new path ahead,

Knowing that the past can no longer bind you, instead.
