Grace

Unity of Birmingham Spiritual Writer's Club Series:

By Jacob Gross

Grace 

I see beauty in things left unseen, 

Poetry and art and everything In between.

The divine, may you send some arrows to me,

So that love can and will transcend me.

I see music in ordinary things,

Mystery and magic, the mundane sings.

Vibrations colliding into life’s dance,

One of samsara’s ultimate trance.

I see liberation in the path that leads,

Me through the gates of my suffering.

I look to my left, and I see all of me,

At the end of it all, I just wanted to be seen.

I see transformation in the ultimate dance,

Between the form and the formless, a beautiful stance.

My shells have been shed in life giving fashion,

And I’m left with a love light radiating as if a mountain
