Lenten Lament #130

 Lenten Lament - #130


My cry echoes 

bouncing back in my face

from the depths

mercy


Deeply aware 

no reason for

response no

rationale for

even hearing

except…


Remembering all

that disqualifies

that argues 

against but

is silenced

by forgiveness


And so…

i wait 

watching in 

deep echoing darkness 

for the hint of hope 

brightening the night


the darkness

sparking

with remembered

faithfulness with

hoped for 

forgiveness


i wait 

watching

intent on love 

gleaming in the

thin space 

depths 

met with 

mercy


more than a

watchman i

wait for the 

morning in 

mourning 

who can stand?


deep dark

wondering

can unfailing

love…

fail?
