Prayer Prompt Psalm 52: We Will Wait For Your Mercies, Dear God Poem by rose flores rosevoc2

O Lord, we will praise you forever and forever!
'We will wait for your mercies,
For everyone knows what a merciful
God You are.'

Now let me be honest
And tell You how every night
I drowned in sorrow

How every word I wrote, silently spoke
The lament of each night's secrets
Way out in the boonies, so far away

How I hid under pillows and litanies
Believing, soon
Times would be back and still

Hours carved on my chest love and guilt
Rusted scent, I could smell on those lips
She, that caroused mouths

It robbed of me, and
Drained my fields like drought
Leaving me barren, faded in the night

I tried to hide here, in this blue house
In these walls, no soul could ever
Break and thrust, but feel shamed.

In the highway too long
In the late night chants
Scars of time dealt with me

So I waited for God's mercy
And I cried for you -
So I cried for you

That wounds be healed,
The Virgin's hands would hold.

Dear God, have mercy.
