The fiercest form of grace

I have ever known,

born in our brief exchange;

when you gave me the gift

that brought me to my knees,

unraveled my

loathing self-image

in the sheer,

overwhelming

awe…

that it was even possible

to love so wholly.

This grace overtook me,

seized and provoked me.

It cleansed my vision,

removed every distortion

and polished

all my

jagged edges.
