Finding Grace


Midnight tolls its solemn verse
of blessed virgins that roam
Come quick this hollow night
for my blood does run thin
What angels have left their stain
upon this torn desolate land
I find solice in their wake
and clammor my past ill.
Oh but one tempts my soul
as lust and vigilance take command
Features of the sleakest of cats
eyes that could break my will
A temperate smile that hides her shade
a color most likely to be devine
Angelic hands blaze my heart
as death becomes my tired soul.
Centuries gained and given hence
now my fate comes kissing me
My battles fought and won with grace
she makes lost love to me
Finnally I have the peace I sought
which I lost for heavens grace
And shall lay here in her arms
till the sunrise comes to take me.

Michael, I am wondering how this made it to page two with no one seeing it. I think this is very interesting, and without knowing the whole story of parts 1-3, it stands alone.

"Centuries gained and given hence
now my fate comes kissing me
My battles fought and won with grace
she makes lost love to me

Those words especially touched me.
