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?
