Friend: stay near graced nights
We stayed true to pain and need,
Bared torn hearts — chained, freed.
Grace
“It Is Not Yet Time For Another”
It is not yet time for another.
It is time to be alone,
time to wait for grace
to pull me up muddied and waterlogged
from the turbid lake I chose to dive into.
Time to sit here, watch the world go by,
let my youth be taken from me,
take notes now and then as I am given
these resplendent moments, when I realize
that nothing needs to be changed.
