LORD GRANT ME GRACE

You know why.

Days and nights melt 

into years 

and flow like tears

Leaving only 

shiny trails  

moonlit snails 

bequeath

I panic 

through hopes 

and dreams 

praying I delete

Before

No one hears 

my screams 

laying just inside 

my throat

A rising tide and

No boat

What more 

Could I hope for?
