Grace Gifted Words

Words dripping gracefully off the page.
Expressions of innermost thoughts.

Releasing my vulnerability
out to the world,
So that others may not feel
so alone.

Words enfolding my wear heart.
Expressions of grace to me by another.
Words wrapping my soul,
Reminding me i am not alone.

Words
Gifts of love and grace
coming in the form of poetry.

A gift of Divine inspiriation
To help connect us
one to another.

To connect us to the heart of God.

Words

"Remember you are loved and
to love you shall return."

Words spoken to me,
to my lent journey.

Words I speak to another,
to their Lent journey.

Words that can surround
as we grieve yet again
death that comes
from senseless acts of violence.

Words that hold us
when nothing else makes sense.

Words that center us
in our belovedness
and
calls us to
doing better,
doing more
to act in ways that embrace
our belovedness
but also to
treat all others as beloved.

For it is belovedness that will
counter hate and violence.

Or so it that my heart must believe.
AMEN
