shaded by grace and hope

Again and Again


After your soft heart has been ripped through
by Suffering Unexpected
and it seems nothing will grow here again,
Grace remains
patient to hold you tight when you pound and pound,
begging questions with no answers.

Held tighter still.
Grace that never stops, always present
and chasing after you as you
scurry about,
retracing memories and promises and always
needing just one more piece,
looking under rocks through the woods

and sometimes the houses too.
Which began when first words were uttered, now,
it sits with you, on this tree stump
and tears help flowers grow

where life was taken.
