Alchemy, as you know, the first line is stolen (I mean borrowed).And the truth is the first line of the third verse too is borrowed. I logged into a poet's help site, and there was this random pick for opening lines. I picked a couple of them and made it the structure for my poem. I also did a dive into meanings and phrases today after you adviced me to look up alternate meanings and what it might suggest. It helped, thanks. And I found out that silence induces a sense of creepiness, or that something creeps in the dark and silence. Why not turn it into something positive esp. when referred to being in a nursery ( a place where children / plants / saplings are nutured. So I thought over it and decided that graces indeed creeps up when we are 'Still' and nutured in the presence of the Lord. do I justify myself for what I wrote? I did give it a lot off thought and study. Alchemy, you were a big help. Thank you.

By the way, the rest of the stuff is totally mine.
