Just a Poem - Morgan Harper Nichols

Shelby Howe

Morgan Harper Nichols




grace


you have never shamed the waves

for not arriving on the ocean shore

any sooner than they were meant to,


and you have never looked above you

to guilt the cloud for taking her time 

as she crosses the noonday sky.


you simply accept 

that she must travel

at the pace 

she needs to.


oh,

what a difference

it would make

if you gave yourself

this same grace.
