Against drawn shutters
tomorrow’s Grace appeared as if in vain;
huddled small and set to suffer, she extended
little gratitude for its warmth and light.

But illumination refused to leave her situation.
The Light searched its way inside through
a fault in her enclosure.

Her anguish now caught out in the open
circumspectly advised that someone surely need
take possession of the situation.

In answer, she exited self compression,
and in the new light of day, soon found
a craving for further elucidation.

Out of  blame’s grip she took
accountability for her actions
and apprehensively decided to shoulder it.

Standing tall and straight
despite the new encumbrance, and
though freed by Grace to do so,
her lips did not immediately curve upwards-
the gravity of her past deeds held them down.

Ownership is as weighty as one
thinks it to be.

I loved the way you wrote this!

"Ownership is as weighty as one
thinks it to be."

How true!

But remember... Another has claimed those deeds, paid in full and stamped "forgiven" across any invoices for payment due... So the curve will come... even if we can't now see it happening. *S*

suthern, yes, I left that part out, for this is the humanity side of Grace, the part that fights to keep control...and oh yes if not forgiven, I would not be here and writing....thank you so much for your comments
