Time of Grace

“Grace tangled in a rapture with violence”
~ Anne Dillard

There are days when I question my faith
For humanity and the future of this world
So much grace tangled in a rapture with violence
Awaiting prophetic release from acquired guilt

For humanity and the future of this world
I hold my hands together, fingers toward the sky
Awaiting prophetic release from acquired guilt
Just one more prayer to get me through

I hold my hands together, fingers toward the sky
In a room full of electricity and plastic flowers
Just one more prayer to get me through and
Take me away from the things I fear

In a room full of electricity and plastic flowers
I break mirrors with a bare fist
To take me away from the things I fear
All reflected in me

I break mirrors with a bare fist
So much grace tangled in a rapture with violence
All reflected in me,
There are days when I question my faith.
