with strength and solitude
She hungers for his voice
and longs for his presence
She knows him
as steadfast despite rejection
as steady even amidst pain
She smiles
when she speaks of him
She surrenders
when she sings of him
She sustains
when she stands by him
She told him
I am listening
She asked him
Why can't I hear you
She thought to herself
for a quick second
Maybe he doesn't speak to me
in a quicker second
She felt him
His hands in hers
warming her
enveloping her
reassuring her
She heard him
Say
That thought is from the enemy
She listens and she learns
for she trusts
in her Father
God
Lamentations 3:18-23
