A Melody

…His compassions do not fail.  —Lamentations 3:22

When I am lost,

wandering the hard 

terrain of pain 

in this world

or trapped within

the mumbling maze

of my own despair,

even when my words

fail and only grumblings

and moanings escape,

any prayer, however

ineloquent, becomes

a melody, beautiful

in the surrendered-

knowing that God 

is there welcoming

the longings of my 

aching soul.
