My fear of grace lingers

inside my coffee cup

swirling the remnants

as I ask again about

your wishes, your dreams.

You don't remember me do you?

When you knew me

I was younger, more innocent.

I didn't drink coffee then.

And you....you were stormier

dark with thunder and wind

terrifying in your sin

your glance use to burn

and now you simply glimmer...

fools gold found

lurking in the bottom

of my cup.

I agree with Barb... In fact I've been asking the same thing for YEARS! All right Christina, I'd say that the time has come for you to seriously look at writing a book. I have absolute confidence that what you write will impact many people and perhaps help someone who is going through or has gone through some of the same trials you have endured. So get busy!

And by the way, I LOVE this poem! The introspection, darkness and emotion are fantastic! Love, Mom
