Sainted Wraiths

On God's grace...

Can you see these sainted wraiths?

Angels in empty spaces

Ghostly hands cupping faces

Leaving ethereal lover’s traces

For though I am not faithless

I can be led to question God’s graces

Why he loves some of these strangers

Yet crushed my Hearts Aces

Memories now half unremembered

My hearts passion stirred

By my prayers I feel unanswered

For a cure to my lover’s cancer

Sometimes I will smooth down the bed

Alone I talk to her instead

As her memory lies still in my head

I crave to unravel time’s feckless thread

To sunder the very earth apart

In the hopes again to start

Removing these regrets I had

To turn my sadness into glad

These sainted wraiths

Angels with empty faces

Tears in lonely spaces

A soul mates forgotten traces

Lord let it all be for naught

Sleepless answers I sought

Grieving hands I wrought

These soul healing tears

Heart relieving fears

Mentally healing cheers

So that I can let this pain go

To unburden my tomorrow

Let her lie in lovers throw

Let my heart regrow

Let dieing promises last all time

A speck in your grand design

To know all will be fine

As she stares down from clouds divine

These sainted wraiths

Angels with smiling faces

Laughter filling crowded spaces

God’s loving graces
