Friend, your poem of Grace is masterful. I offer a corresponding trinket:
Burden of Zechariah
I have borne
With their starch
And their sad, stiff rebellion
I have watched
As they mimicked
All the godless around.
Yet I say,
Now’s the time
To descend to their rescue
And to lift
As my Spirit
Of grace now is found.
They will weep
As they see
It was I they had wounded
They will weep
With new eyes
As they own now their sin.
But the fountain
Has come to
Remove all uncleanness
Yes, the fountain
Of grace
‘Tis their joy to dive in.

What grace you've brought to this earth with your musings,every writing reflects a facet of life which apparently lies hidden to the casual eye.
I wish you the best in your spiritual yearnings and may your wisdom spread the world every passing minute.
A wonderful read.
