Grace

when you've walked
through Fire,
bewitched by love -
a love for all of life;
when you've warmed
your broken heart
as you sat close to Her,
blisters on weary feet,
charred dreams in forlorn eyes;
when you've given
your whole self up
to the glowing embers -
now just memories
of a singeing past;
when you've walked
with yourself
every step of the way, even
when you felt you wouldn't last;
Grace - she comes to you slowly,
showering you with her love,
for when you're really broken,
you come to know and feel,
how you're always held in love.
