Graceful Journey

Graceful Journey

A Poem by Elvis Gilley
"

The most difficult journeys in life bring about the greatest triumph.

"

My soul drifts to soothing tones

while the rumors of despair this heart bemoans

 

Faith stands before me by the ocean still

I seek his presence so that I may begin to heal

 

Reach into my soul

for arrogance and vanity have taken their toll

 

Animosity fills my mind

while it is the love of God I seek to find

 

I lay at your feet with weeping eyes and a satirical heart

pleading that we should never part

 

Though anger and ignorance defiled me

your grace will cover me through eternity
