Wore Your Grace Like a Charm

The day that shame was invented
A paradise was lost
A universe separating lovers
Made of black holes and dead stardust

Floating untethered
In the dark
We lost our only true spark

The day that shame was invented
Love wrapped us in its arms
Although remorse made me naked
I wore your grace like a charm

Caught by your
Forgiving hand
And given back to the land

Ooooo Ooooo

The day that shame was invented
What was wild was no longer free
A world of wonder connected
Now a broken unity

Though every atom
Spun in place
I was cut off from your face

The day that shame was invented
A new avenue was made
Though darkness burned in my bosom
You met me in the shade

I matched the ardor
Of your chase
And your amazing grace

Oooo Oooo

I think it is a great line

I think it is a great line for a song
"The day shame was invented"
If it were a poem, I would ask to develop the topic, for example, to mention that shame was used to control people minds and I would send to hell holidays and mascarades when you are given a chance to be shameless for a moment.

But for a song it looks just right. The last stanza is perfect. That escape is inspiring.

Come back with poems. Don't forget that you are also poet not only a song writer.

sorry, I'm just excited to

sorry, I'm just excited to share my WIP with a creative community. I will definitely be posting more poems in the future. shame is a complex subject. the song is meant be framed like a relationship between lovers as well. people get hurt, do hurtful things, but hopefully there is grace and forgiveness. and a mutual chase. thanks for the read and the comments!

No, thank you for the

No, thank you for the pleasure hearing yet another great song of yours

thanks dalton. I'm glad it found resonance with you. thanks for the kind comments

Greetings Greg,

Good stuff. I like the repeated line throughout.
I stumbled on a couple of lines, until I listed to it sung.
Don't stumble on those lines now!

The Song: Remix please, stronger vocals, softer rhythm guitar...and sharper on the guitar picking!
Good Song. When is the album being released?

thanks Jim! I've heard it

thanks Jim! I've heard it said that written works are meant to be heard aloud. the rhythm is so important in poetry and of course music. the album is dropping probably this weekend, if I can stay on schedule. I'll direct message you a link when I'm done. I'm glad you liked it.
