grace unnoticed

deep within her soul
a longing for belonging
a start of a beginning
resplendent eyes- dark
tears
coursing from her eyes
down to the fair desolation of her mouth
deeply, beyond hope
needing, beyond thought
a touch of truth
an act of solitary grace
that makes her alive
that keeps her
watching
waiting
for dawn
while the royal splendor
of love continues to echo
toward the threshold of
her true place of rest.
