Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Grace

~Grace~

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.

Sigrid Ermine September 20, 2020 at 10:27 PM Sam, dynamic grabbing verse. Oh so sad, our punishing human condition.... Some kind of grace saves us time and time again. Congratulations, my dear, on writing this striking poem. Sam Kauffman September 22, 2020 at 11:47 AM You are so correct "some kind grace saves us time and again!" We are so blessed by it even as we make decisions to, once again, separate ourselves from that always present amazing grace. Thank you so much for your wonderful message and your congratulations my friend! So glad you liked it. Hugs and blessings to you!

Kim Rodrigues September 20, 2020 at 5:43 PM Yes, Sam, much pain is sel-afflicted! Congratulations! Sam Kauffman September 22, 2020 at 11:36 AM Often we really do a number on ourselves ending with a head slap of why did I do that? Thank you for your visit Kim. And your congratulations. I do really appreciate both! Take care.

Anne-Lise Andresen September 5, 2020 at 11:43 AM - False walls of lies gives no confidence - It seems everyone has been affected one way or the other by lies, Sam - A powerful poem, best wishes in the contest :) - Have a lovely weekend :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Sam Kauffman September 20, 2020 at 9:22 AM Hi Anne-Lise. Thank you. Deceit and lies truly tear down trust. I takes so long to rebuild trust after betrayal. Thank you for your good wishes! All the best my friend!

John Watt September 5, 2020 at 9:58 AM A lot of emotion covered here, Sam. What I call poetically dense (a compact swing as they say in baseball). "Amid the rubble and the ruins of self-inflicted pain" speaks volumes. Best wishes with this gem in the contest ~ John
