WITH GRACE

Wider the expanse seems to be
Maybe it is all one can see
From morning light
No more fright opening up
Like never before
Viewing so much more

Bridging the gap
Left before
A chasm so deep
A damaged core
Yet hoping one day
Finding trust again

Only a moment away
From understanding
Walking on the sand
Eternal shell that once was
Now so filled with joy
Entranced by the sight of it all

Laying so comfortably
Within stronger arms
Feelings welling up
Surfacing within our secret space
So sacred a time
Here we are filled with grace

Deeper down this river runs
Somehow finding release
With the only one
Pulled from the quicksand
That once was this life
Now embraced with tender love
A knowing, a flowing, a feeling
I trace within your eyes
Now in our time
