A cry, heard

After Psalm 6

A cry from the heart,

a cry is heard,

the heart’s tears

have flowed into ears,

a cry is heard,

a cry for mercy

unmerited, unjustified,

undeserved, yet

the cry is heard and

accepted.

Enemies retreat,

sorrows retreat,

anguish retreats

in the balm

of acceptance.
