The yearn for grace

Most days you'd dissipate
your rain soaked hands
would opt to cradle
those that marry to your ground

the sky of day is hiding
in the tomb of thickened clouds
no prancing bears nor ballerina pink
to mesmerize the hardest of all hearts

upon random whims I came to kneel
on clover fields this day
unprepared to view the darkened panorama
that suffocates the heavenly

perhaps I'll run to far off fields
or rent the charlatan’s umbrella
with its rainbow stenciled promise

or better yet, I'll stop and pray
that it somehow renders grace on me
when the silence overtakes
this current storm of storms

You have chosen your words very well in this poem of overcast sadness. I particularly liked . . .

quote:
perhaps I'll run to far off fields
or rent the charlatan’s umbrella
with rainbow printed promises

But those three lines were merely the highlight for me, because the complete poem was written so eloquently, if sadly, I could have just quoted the entire poem.

Stunning write, dear EmmaRose. Your grace emanates from these beautiful lines, drenched in sadness. Just like the sun hiding behind the clouds, your innate grace is not dimmed by your inner storms.

Feel this grace as it dissolves the storms ...
