BUILT FROM GRACE

Built From Grace


When shadows stretch across the way,
And skies forget the light of day.
Still in your chest, a spark remains.
A silent strength through losses, gains.

It whispers, “Rise, though winds may roar,
You’ve crossed dark seas, and you’ll cross more.”
Each trial carved a deeper grace.
Each scar a map, each tear a trace.

You are the flame that won’t burn out.
The steady heart, the whispered shout,
That says, “I’m here. I’m not yet done.
There’s more to climb, I’ve just begun.”

The road ahead may twist and bend,
But hope walks with you like a friend.
And when your knees begin to shake,
Your soul will rise for healing’s sake.

Breathe deep, sweet soul. You’ve come so far.
You’re made up of the brightest star.
The storm has passed, the skies are clear.
You’re not alone. You’re loved. You’re here.

So hold this truth through every tide:
The light you seek is held inside.
And even in your darkest place...
You're made of strength and built from grace.

Eryn, your poem is absolutely breathtaking. It feels like a warm, uplifting hug, brimming with resilience and hope. Your imagery, like "shadows stretch across the way" and "each scar a map, each tear a trace," paints such a striking, heartfelt picture. The rhythm of your words pulses like a steady heartbeat, lifting me up and reminding me of the inner fire we all hold. Lines like "you’re made up of the brightest star" and "the light you seek is held inside" transform pain into something powerful and profound. It’s universal yet so personal, like you’re speaking straight to my soul. This poem is a treasure, Eryn. It’s going to linger with me, and I’m so excited to read more of your work.
