In a marriage of poetry, faith, and worship, Ms. Grimes' poems illuminate the Scriptures that grace every Sunday of the year. Her inimitable voice and imagination offer glimpses of glory we might not otherwise see, throughout the seasons of the year.
With lyrical precision and spiritual insight, she invites readers on a journey of reflection, weaving together themes of grace, redemption, and the enduring power of God's love throughout the year.
As the companion volume to her previous book Glory in the Margins: Sunday Poems, Glory, Too resonates with authenticity and depth, giving testimony to the transformative power of poetry and the enduring hope found in the embrace of God's eternal grace.
High Style
Louboutin stilettos
are recognizable at a distance.
Those shiny red soles
tell you everything.
When Gucci handbags
are in a room,
they virtually shout.
Now, I'm not much for labels,
but I've noticed how
God's garments stand out.
Take the suit, a second skin
made of holiness—a rare fabric,
that usually itches, at first
until the wearer
gets used to it;
Beyond that,
God's personal style
is all about the layered look:
the silk of compassion,
golden threads of kindness
woven through the vest,
humility cinching in the waist,
meekness and patience
falling to the ankles,
and love thickly draped
across the shoulders.
The clothing God designs
is never mistaken
for anyone's but his.
And when we're wise enough
to don his attire,
we look like more
than a million.
