Sound of Silence

marygracewritingLeave a comment

Hush
Can you hear it?
A softness in the night

Hush
Close your eyes
This sound is pure delight

Stop
Don’t give up
Sit a moment and regress

Stop,
Now breathe in
Silence like a caress

Find it
That feeling
Like waiting with intent

Find it
Uncomfortable
Yet sweetness in its get

Strang
To hunger
For what you easily brake

Strang
To anticipate
Loss within its wake

Blessed
In finding
Peace in moments lent

Blessings
Abundant
In silence well spent

Beauty of Forgetting

marygracewriting2 Comments

First, the sun bleached its vibrancy
To subtle whispers
A mural of marked moments disappearing
Through existing

Redraw the lines
Splash colours fresh
Upon the wall
For red, to leak
Where pink alone has walked

Blue holding Yellow’s hand as
Fresh green parades between
Look
It wasn’t as it was before
A shift

Mourn this change that steels
Celebrate what it reveals
In vibrant presence
A portrait restored
As MemoriesWhat is forgotten fades
What is remembered enhanced

Dirty Floor

marygracewriting2 Comments

Dirt upon my floor
I know it as much more

Within the scattered mess
Hidden proof I’m blessed

Dried play dough there
A moment without care

Bread crumbs careless brushed
Bellies filled, hunger hushed

Sand tracked all this way
Hearts a brim with play

While I push a broom
Do not now presume

As I cast it out
There is not a doubt

The memories I’ve saved
In my heart, they are engraved

Loves Art

marygracewritingLeave a comment

There is a joy in joining
And when we come apart
The push and pull of day-to-day
Is Love teaching us its art

There is a pain in holding
Too tightly to your hand
It echoes even when released
Time to ease, it does demand

Absence can grow fondness
Take a moment, sit and wait
I’ll learn to soar with my own wings
Just open wide the gate

A little trust will guide us
As situations shift
First, you lead, then it’s my turn
To lift us over rifts

We each have our own value
Separate, and distinct
But when we choose together
Love is an art where we are linked

Nature’s War

marygracewriting2 Comments

Street lights cast
A shimmering glow
As sheets of rain pass
Row on row.

Drops hit pavement
Scattering dance.
A fight with earth?
Or nature’s romance…

Water escapes
In to each tiny crack.
Eroding man’s hold,
Turning time back.

From pavement to sand,
The battle is slow.
But nature has time,
Time? An endless flow.
