Glimpses Of Grace
Floating gently on a breeze of serendipity,
Soaring the celestial skies, heavens window,
I catch one final wistful, breathless breath,
And from above with sadness look below .
I watch my life lived, unfurled before my eyes,
A single tear drop hangs upon a silver thread,
Our destinies ordained as to God's own design,
I listen to others like me, the whispering dead.
"Dear, have I grown old, without the care to look,
Is my temple too old and frail to love and hold,
Tell me, have I displeased or not understood,
Have I failed in my love for you or motherhood ?
Failing eyes, your limpid soul within my scope,
A time when you looked at me as your princess,
But time has raped me of my broken mind and looks,
And you have bared the brunt of my wickedness.
The hearts that danced with almond rainbows,
Eyes fulfilled with the promise of eternal love,
Flown the spring of Mother Nature's glows
Dappled waves reflected in my winter eyes.
I feel your soft hands glide across my memories,
Every tear I savour in the lines of wrinkled flesh,
To file with other lost and forgotten memories,
In my broken mind I am still beautiful and fresh.
Did we love and care for one another my dear,
Did we have children as beautiful as our love,
Will you still love me when I'm no longer here,
Will you tell our children my heart breaks with love ?
I have no hunger or desire to take up residence,
The falling ceiling and closing walls are calling,
You have to let me go , I breathe your hesitance,
Let me sleep my love, my other world is calling.
'Til we meet again my darling, our hearts to mend.
Hold dear the thought of forever love entwined,
And that love is never ours to own but always lend
Forever and eternity my one true love my one true friend .
Good night my love , your loving Grace.
