Graced Beyond Words Poem by Mark Heathcote

Jealous heart full of hopeless hope
full of hopeless love
be kind to yourself
you don't know how blessed you are
and anyone who has you is graced beyond words
your eyes are black diamonds glowing aflame
with eyelashes flashing like wings
holding back a tear or two.
You just can't bat away.
Jealous heart full of hopeless hope
full of hopeless love
don't be surprised if I wish to go undiscovered
and never find my love out there
somewhere out there, she's looking through a frosted window
with her heart turning blue
straining to see me ember a glowing flame
all I know is if our paths cross, I am graced beyond words,
graced beyond all inconsequential empty words.
