God's Grace

Words did not part my lips, though fully understood,

mine as it were, a mere shadow and not of much use,

passing reminders of words that fell silently around me,

among tears, that knew the oceans.

Images encumbered by light, gazing through me,

until every corner lay bare, finding my shadows,

casting about subtle truths long ago forgotten,

now finding the rivers trail.

Irrepressible light whispers through me, about me,

fleeting as though uninvited, and yet yielding to me,

my feet running to that which finally found me,

there at the rivers edge.

In fullness it embraced me, brought me to myself,

whole, aware, renewed, refreshed in my being,

not faint as a shadow, with words lost in a corner,

but true to myself, My God, His Grace.
