Grace


I want to write, eat, think and embody grace,

in the same way an ocean wave gently laps on the shore –
night after night after night.

Graceful even as it fades in its curvaceousness,

slowly becoming that last arch and meander

before sliding backward into the darkness.

But I have no grace on my own.

Let this then, my little offering of words,

like a the smallest ripple on the surface,

be another prayer that baptizes me –

into grace.
