Grace

Reading those words
Something inside me snapped like a twig.

Suddenly the veil evaporated
Revealing radiant life,
Naked and raw.

I became a child in a garden paradise
A happy animal merged with the deep silent Now.

Time crumbled and the flowers kissed eternal.

In love with everything
I laughed at the obvious,

Which for 29 years
Had been so immaculately clear
That I was blind to it.
