I am Grace
I am Grace
soulfully dancing with elegance
in gossamer gown of my fantasy
I am Grace and I embrace
all my strength and poise
my spirit soars with a joyful heart
I am Grace
lost and returned a gem
unique with the power of grace
that set me apart from others
I am free in my world
where I embrace life with glee
I am Grace
I have cried tears of joy
I have wept in sorrow
traverse through thorns and trials
I have shouted in triumph
I have prayed in my loss
I am Grace,
a name that holds a story,
of resilience, love,
and God's eternal glory
With gratitude in my heart
I embrace this name
And strive to live a life that honors its claim.
..."faith into this grace wherein we stand"
... "transcend the bondage of lifetimes of karma"

you have lots of that my dear I know how it feels to be tied in to the now for the fear of nostalgia taking place
This Deaf Dancer (SP Summerscales)
Where do I go from here
how do I rid your fear
I answer
but nothing's clear
this deaf dancer
through the floor
can hear .
I feel every minute
all the seconds
that tick in it
just remember
I'm real
and from no one I steal
if it rolls I'm the wheel
and if nobody get's it
well I do
your magnetic
telecanetic
delectably , hectic
a comprehendable , sceptic
understandable , unhandable
loving , apathethetic
I drive myself mad here
going round
mental hemispheres
I know I'm not perfect
kind of glass or a perspex
breakable , flexible
clarity you just can't see
together we are sailing free
untethered , jocularity
heavy feathers are not
you and me
simply because
they just can't be
we endeavour in hilarity .
I pedalled a wipe out
in the street
a dogfight , invite
dinner nightmare
I wore white
the wrong thing to wear
what a night to frighten
the unscared
Horsefly bites
and wine we did share
outdoor delights
of drunken impaired
driving on the right
and you cut my hair
so I thought if I might
recall times
that we shared .
So in all the long
don't get me wrong
I hold your flame and I sing your song
as I sit here
you've nothing at all to fear
don't ever
not remember
this deaf dancer
through the floor
can hear .

Oh yes Paul. That is exactly how it it is. Waiting and not meeting, just having faith, that's all. Thanks for reading and commenting.

Ok, sorry for the delay Grace
I got a small element of confusion with the first couple of lines.at first it seems like you might be speaking to someone
They ask why are you here still
Dont you feel
that you should leave
you have waited enough
It kind of makes sense, though i think you might be able to clarify it a bit better if you change a couple of words;
They ask
"why i am still here
don't I feel
that I should leave
i have waited long enough"
I put the 'they ask' as a separate line and gave it some space, not sure how that works for you though.
the thing about the breaks is it gives an indication of how you want your poem to be read, at what speed and such. So i was wondering if you might consider breaking after each four lines.
I think it might add to the whole thing.
also both of the quotes you have at the bottom are great, i think you should pick one of them and separate it at the very bottom.
To go, except to heaven's door
I am Grace
Divine Grace
Just show me compassion..
"faith into this grace wherein we stand and transcend the bondage of lifetimes of karma"
maybe stick the quote into italics.
What do you reckon?

Wow! Thanks for the tip, dear Eamon. You are such a dear friend. As of now I will make it stand, but what you said will be a lesson learned. Except for the Italics...:D thanks again Eamon dear!
