Saving Grace

 

Before adversity digs in its heals

on my winding pathway to fate,

 

wishing for blissful sleep,

I come to you on bended knees

begging for comfort; for clarity of mind

 

and your light never fails to shine

 

lending warmth to hollow places,

solace to cloudy shades of uncertainty;

tranquility to once shattered spirit.

 

Now, my rivers run quiet; ripples of hope

spilling into what were once only dreams

of something as simple and complicated

 

as love.
