April is over
Poetry Month has gone
I wish she could have lingered
so I could scribe life onto her pages
wrap my words around her figure like a silk sash
trust her with my systematic jewels
align my glass rocks for her pleasure
just once more
her thirty shiny days
vanished into May
shattering the delicate lucidity
the power her presence gave
I pick up the pieces meant to adorn
tucking them between worn
leather bound beds of parchment
protecting their beauty from
the Honored One's withdraw
until Aprils return
when I'll celebrate her rhyme
one more time
About The Author

- You've entered my playground for words. A daydreamers game of teeter-totter for passion and thought. As a woman who loves accessories, I see God's grace as the ultimate fashion statement. It's one size fits all and will compliment any person, any lifestyle. I think of that when I get dressed, and just as I would reach into my jewelry box to put on a pair of earings, I reach deep inside myself each morning and make sure I put on my sparkling jewel of Grace, doubts and all, because God's Grace is simply receiving a gift I don't deserve. And like all gifts, this one should be accepted. It says something to us from God; that He loves us. It also says something about us; that we need Him. Grace is given to complete our relationship with the Father. It carries a bold message that God thinks we deserve His intimacy. He wants us to wear His Grace so we feel it upon us, gently lying across our pain and shortcomings, covering them with His enabling power. So as I accessorize myself with God's graciousness, I write Him a thank you note with my strength and my praise. You are Accessorized with Grace so don't forget to put it on each day!
