Friday penance.

Posted by Terry Nelson on May 2nd, 2008

sometimes I ask Him,

“why O Lord?  why did you permit this? 

why didn’t you let them kill me

when they had their chance?” 

no one else can understand  that prayer… 

much less grasp the answer -

spoken in silence,

an all-embracing  silence -

which enfolds and consoles 

my soul in ineffable bitter-sweetness,

in the darkest solitude…

which no one,

save the Wounded One,

can ever perceive or penetrate.
