On Grace

A personal perspective

By Ruthy HarrisPublished 5 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read
Choose Grace; Live Life

How canny

Grace can be

Had it ever occurred

That I wanted to be left alone

alone

To that place

That place

To be with You

Completely engulfed In your presence

that I long for

But I am left here

Yea, I am left here

Feeling disowned

Worn out

with tethered pieces

I'm left to grab hold of …

Grace

You leave me

to Wallow in my life

with friends

who are freeing themselves

by trying to free me

But Grace

Only you can do

Honestly

kindness is still kind

Right

even when out of obligation

Where's my plight

The one where I delight

In your shine

My Question is

Can you really help me?

Grace

my Lifelong desire

Giving way to mention

My name

Who am I?

Grace

Take me away from this place

Of unfamiliar yes

and the all too familiar No

No

I am not suicidal

It's just vital

I have the real u, Grace

Because I present

the real me

You see

Yes.

Redundant it may be

I give to receive the real

And if that is your offer

I accept.

Set me free, Grace!
