“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”-Rainer Maria Rilke
Full of Grace
by Carmen H Gray
In your darkest hours
I have whispered in my mind
The words of a prayer from my childhood
Vestiges that stayed with me
From that patriarchal system
Because She is the Absolute Nurturer
The Mother Energy with whom
My heart beats
Because I could not
Physically wrap my arms around your beauty
Nor keep the demons at bay
Nor take your anguish away
