Grace in Despair

When there is sorrow

that seems too much to bear

I call to Euphrosyne

I declutter my mind

with the music and poetry of Thalia

to crowd out memories better left forgotten

I try to gain new perspective

and see the beauty through Aglaia’s eyes

Above all, I ask for grace

to give me reprieve from a love who didn’t endure,

strength in the lessons of experience and,

inspiration to rise from a fallen state.
