It's All Grace: Poem



Practicing my "contre-jour", still. This is one of my favorite boys.


the Weaver has been at work
with loom in the night,
binding warp of hillside in
carmine and aurous strands of
weft; fringe of gossamer on
the edge of tapestry; the sky
flocked with daedal braid
of brume and beam flecked
with wing and birdsong. and
it’s all grace—this handiwork;
the lacy pattern of love.

Listen to it!:
It's All Grace by Laura Boggess


Linked up with Bonnie today:

I can tell. You've learned by hanging on. To a needle. In these words, I hear Him stitching lines of Grace. The rhythms are silky. And busy.

By the end I am wrapped in something beautiful. And something completed.

It's lovely, Laura! And what a treat to hear your voice, to hear that weaving rhythm of holding on.

God bless you, stitch by stitch.

I have never seen the sound thing where someone reads their work. It was beautiful listening to you read this; totally different experience than I got when reading it silently myself.

Lovely. Every piece of it, even the words I do not know. And thank you for reading it to us - an extra added dose of beautiful.

I could float on these words, trailing the fingers of one hand through the wake.

What a gift to hear your voice, Laura.

Thank you. X2.
