SAVING GRACE
Her song tugged at my soul,
Begging me to listen.
Perhaps it was her honeyed voice
Tinted with the crispness of whiskey
And so it could seduce my ears to pay attention
Or maybe...
It was the lyrics in her song
That told a story filled with longing.
Her words resurrected a passion I had long buried
The lines were an instruction,
Commanding me to rise.
The song was a rejuvenating salve for my heart.
The words were hers
The exquisite voice belonged to her too
But that song...
That song woke me up
That song brought me to life
That song was for me,
And so I call her angel.
I won't be able to mention all my favourite female artists, all the wonderful women who use their talent to make this world brighter, bigger and kinder. Thank you for your art. Thank you for the relatability, company and saving my psyche. Thank you for saving my mornings, afternoons, nights and my life. Thank you for giving me hope and the push I needed when staying down seemed like the best idea😚
