Grace

by Julia Polin

It’s not just about flowing through a room

Or some amazing ballet moves

There’s something classy about it too like

When someone is rude and you decide to be polite

They are not right just because you shine bright

There is a warming that occurs

Like a kitten who purrs

We gently let it be known

That grace needs to be shown 

Your going to need endless empathy 

You become like a canopy

Light Protection from elements so harsh

Quenching the thirst inside others hearts

Without a commanding for anything in return

Not even demanding to be heard

A breeze of an action 

That breathes out satisfaction

Or at least a smaller reaction 

Knowing the time and place

Deciding to Create a space 

to Listen and communicate 

Indulging in sweet mercy 

Patiently avoiding getting lost 

in blinded bitterness and the 

confusing chaos

Grace can be powerful and soft

Making miraculous moves 

While it peacefully soothes
