In The Here and Now

In the here and now, I am filled with sorrow.

I don't want this to be happening. 

There is no escaping the circumstances.

Thinking of the steps which led me to this place,
bracing myself against imagined possibilities,

  will only cause more pain.

Hopefully Beauty and Grace await,
always have they been my closest friends.  

My only choice to trust in unseen blessings.

Until their arrival, I rest within the shadows.

Praying for relief, accepting where I am.
