9 There are seasons we find ourselves bearing unbelievable circumstances, 0 invisible pain, 8 which lingers far too long, day and night.
6 Until we are rescued by prayer 2 from angel warriors.
3 Grace enters quietly, 7 and equips us with strength and courage, 6 to mend brokenness – real or perceived.
8 I stand in awe of this amazing gift 3 to heal wounds.
Thanks to the Two Writing Teachers and this SOL writing community for offering this opportunity. I found this idea from a fellow blogger, Rose Cappelli, and decided to give it a try. It’s just what I needed for today’s post.
Hi Patricia – thank you for kind words. I chose a theme to ponder and then used my phone number to drive the amount of words on a line. It really enjoyed it!
It’s a beautiful poem! And an interesting structure. We think creativity is all about being free, but oftentimes structure enables us to create something truly wonderful.
Wow. This is a powerful post. “Grace enters quietly.” It does, doesn’t it? Have you ever read any of Anne Lamott’s books? I believe in bibliotherapy and I’ve read some of her books at just the right moment. You could call it–well, grace! For you I recommend her book, “Grace, Eventually.”
Gentle reflective words, that possess power are a treasure. Laurie, I thoroughly enjoyed your poem and the structure was appealing to a poet like myself who enjoys structural elements when writing. It provides a neat scaffolding.

Great point; that’s a keeper, especially when teaching writing workshop. Scaffolds with a light touch can truly support elaboration and craft.
