Can You Be Grace?

By Tasneem Imtiyaz Shaikh

With every fall, with every ascent,

With realisations that stare into the eyes,

Knowing it isn't coming back,

Then brewing your soul to be kind,

Can you back off with a gentle smile,

And give an unknown race, your time?

With all the moments withering infront of you,

Like the passing waves,

With all your thoughts smothering,

Realising peace is a constant chase,

Can you still choose to give a meaning to this life?

Can you take it all that's served in your plate?

Can you be grace?
