Sshhh!

Hot gossip is best shared undercover
of darkness, when dreamers keep their counsel
and sleep draws veils over the memory;
whispered confidences fly to Lady Moon
whose silence never betrays one's trust.
Her wisdom?  Learned through countless centuries
she listens, she forgets and she forgives.

    If only we all could follow your last lines:

    Learned through countless centuries
    she listens, she forgets and she forgives.

    It's 'forget and forgive' or more often a forgive and forget. Either way it is a good thing!
