THE GIFTS OF GRACE

Folder: 
JOURNAL#17

little avenging angel

so bothered by the fettered dawn

death she clasps a harnessed hope

as memory feeds upon such a lavish lawn

every lush storm cloud hails to the

beaten grass

from the wink of such a flirtatious wind

beckon me back to a time of careless

sweet simplicity

and I will paint for you with my thoughts

a glowing portrait of the finest flower

found in an untouched youth's first

glimmer of a whim

her arms out stretched and over flowing

with soft, fragrant blooms of unhurried

serenity

smiling so utterly guileless

with her heart brimming full of enriched

trust and treasured truth

oh, how quickly in Heaven must they all run

to thee

you whose gentle soul's praise comes quite

so naturally

the last spiritual gift

left until now unopened

the finest love of God

pure in its very own existence and proof

gentle, unwavering, all giving and

forgiving spirit

how I do miss thee so Grace.............
