Race To Bless

Race to place hopes beyond braces, faces and traces of confidence Buoyed, deployed, enjoyed beyond the purview of human interaction Experienced, sensed and commenced on the throe of rows of prudence Embraced, stressed and buttressed in the wake of actual affection. Race to place hopes beyond braces, faces and traces of solace Sampled and stapled on the niche in which love weeps For want of care in settings which lace and displace Slots that tot hope in lots and plots in which love quips and equips. Race to place hopes beyond braces, faces and traces of balance Struck in a relationship in need of repair Felt to melt in the face of vagaries of chance whose nonchalance Peeks, sticks and kicks at opportunities to mend a tenderness tear. Race to place hopes beyond braces, faces and traces of influence Exerted and vetted to avert the skirt that scoffs at the palaver Communities and coteries convene at the confluence Of love and a glove that denies John the presence of his lover.
