Grace



I drink from the silver 
Amethyst chalice
seeking communion.
The roof shelters me
while I wonder if
 the cobwebs on my soul
are seen from the heavens.
I walk along the shadows,
silence is a death sentence.
Life lingers on my lips
awakened by the sounds
and colors of poetry,
shaking my senses,
leading me home.
Grace floats unannounced,
it walks lacing her
arm into mine.
Grace never tarnished,
stands alone
on wings of hope,
failure is a lesson.

  3. Grace is always there. Failure is just another way you found that something doesn't work.

  11. There was a calmness here, a realization of acceptance. Without failure, what texture would our successes have? They would be dull and void of color...and I always think failure is the color of the bruises...their color fading in time. Which I will thank Grace for. Ayala, this is a thought provoking, tender and beautiful poem.
