No hurt for those who aren t near

No hurt for those who aren’t near,
No ache for friends who’ve moved away.
One light shines bright for every soul,
But many turn their backs – that’s their way.

My only regret, it’s plain to see:
I didn’t say what I should’ve said.
Forgive them all when night is deep,
Give love that asks for nothing – find your peace.

Assorov, Saint Petersburg, 2019
