Best Saving Grace Poems

Strident howling I heard and feared it was my cat
Ran to the porch to find a ball of fluff at bat

A large hawk dive-bombing on a wee baby owl
To find it unprotected evoked a fierce scowl

I stood between the aggressive hawk and its prey
It lunged...

God’s Saving Grace

Sudden flashes of lights
Brings me out of my fog
    I panic slamming the brake

Still to close
 	I gear down
       Hearing the skidding tiers
    Smelling rubber

Overwhelmed by terror
Traffic coming from both directions
I...

Introduction: Don’t you quit no matter how hard it is, no matter how much you struggle.

Your hands reach to heaven, but your heart speaks to hell
Once you were an angel, seduced by sin, you fell 
Your soul is warm and giving, your heart is cold as ice 
Your devil makes you foolish, your angel wants you nice 
Choices, you're making...

This is a parody I wrote to the song of "Wrecking Ball" I believe this is inspirational, and could draw someone closer to God. This poem, or song, tells a little story, coming from my life, that I was struggling, and found my rest in...

The black-as-widow’s-weeds night of endless stars 
was so cold...
cruel as temperature 
plunged its frigid fingers feeling through my being
fondling my heart and soul without mercy
molesting me - taunting my will to live
and just when I thought 
the ice water in my shivering veins would kill...

bursting with colour
fall's harmony delights
leaves playfully dance
darkness blankets the sky.

the crispness in the air
sharply pricks my cheeks
tears feel like icicles
stinging, unforgiving, cold.

the beach is deserted
long gone is the laughter
all i hear is the ocean
waves violent & crashing.

what once was my sanctuary
i only feel lost &...

A saving grace from
The stormiest weather 
A sun to shine down upon
Drying up my sopping tears
To place them in a basin of

SAVING GRACE

In the middle of the universe, I stand
Where it all revolves around man
Selling and consuming disastrous blends 
Burning the candle at both ends 
Neglecting duty, overriding beauty
This story of the ages, never told by sages
Who lived in the bell jar, with the fat cats...

MY NEMIISIS…MY SAVING GRACE

poetry 
captured
my hate
changed 
my fate

I had no choice
it chose me
as a rescue
remedy

I play with words
with people’s
minds

I 

love to tease
and 
fantasize

an addiction
affliction
pre-
disposition?

or just
a
pantomime

Wrath whirled in the air, and satan manoeuvred  around.
Darkness enclosing around, with memories of the past jeering at me.
Pain blistering my heart breaking my being, shattering me
Their laughter ringing in my ears.
Cold wind pricking my skin and loneliness filling my life for years.
My life...

Grace sings…
In glorious praise
Heaven’s healing, hope
Riding the waves of inspiration,
Laughter, light, gratification

Grace smiles…
Sending peace and promise
Rare joy, breathing from a heart
Felt by the music, the rhythm
Poetry, psalms, wisdom

Grace breathes…
Silencing all the worries,
Reassuring, inspiring, charming
Filling the spirit with wonder
Miracles, blessings, dreams

Grace frees…
Comforting the soul
Soothing away all...

I’m just so sick and tired
Of pretending I’ll be okay
When all I’ve ever wanted
Was to be given the time of day
The greatest desire that flows
Through my veins
When my death comes
I’ll say what I need to say

You are not what you’ve done
We have all made the...

crash of thunder
     above a thousand,thousand screens
     in the homes of the people
Do not forget the visions you once had
     At the center of all things, turmoil
later,peace
I don't need to ask you
where your...
