Grace Poem

For Bloemday's lovely remix

Grace is the ageless,
the unchanging,
delicate true beauty
not shaken by the passing clouds
not muddied by the petty
little problems

she is seen on paper
then
inside a delicate blown bubble
through rainbowed windows
The optical illusiions
of oil water

she floats
not aimlessly,
but effortlessly

soft as a willow’s whisper
solid as an old oak’s root
