My Journey to God

Lamentation

A keening sound comes
From midst the olive trees.
A lamentation …
To hear it brings me
To the depths of sadness,
And yet … I listen.

When comes this dirge,
This grievous sound of sorrow,
As though all joy
Has left the earth,
As though the world stops …
Until the morrow?
