Catch the Grace
Grace floats by, humble and free,
and
renders itself so easy to un-sense.
But if we open for it, we can
see it hovering near
as on the wings of an angel.
It only takes a quick glimpse from a soul bowed down,
a
glimpse of the light
extinguished
not by the darkness
of
desires
raging
from the realm of the lost.
Reach beyond your fear to catch
it
and there! it rests in your soul’s hand
allowed
by your allowing,
accepted
by your accepting,
brought to life,
embraced,
nourished,
empowered not by your impotence
but by the fertility of God
Who through love gave life
and Who can do it again,
even in us who have willed not creation, but
destruction,
not
life but death,
not
heaven but hell.
