Amazing Grace Inspired
Amazing Grace Inspired
Amazing grace travels soul trails through wind and rain –
When brittle stars shatter with love exploding
False walls of lies, choices and self-defenses, imploding -
Amid the rubble and the ruins of self- inflicted pain.
Confronted by jagged jaws of swirling revenge
Mercy sweeps away faceless bitterness;
Amazing wings beat in the rhythm of tenderness
Rising up from tones of pale platinum grey guilt to avenge.
How can this be – found - then called…beloved one?
Hidden tears of disbelief – overwhelmed – in elation;
Wonder stands in awe at the hands of redeeming creation
All consuming gratitude on fallen knees – disgrace undone.
How can this heart clothed in naked shades of shame -
Not stand eyes down before eyes of majesty -
Yet gathered in - begged not to flee for lies of fantasy -
Cherished in hypnotic loveliness - waking from crushing blame.
A thousand pieces of brokenness repaired by one word
Shards of regret -splintered fragments - fit perfectly again
Seamless mended seams not seen – worthless treasure regained;
Amazing grace – hair raising joy in sweet moments named absurd.
