I Do Not Speak

 I do not ask for mercy for understanding for peace
And in these heavy days I do not ask for release
I do not ask that suffering shall cease.


I do not pray to God to let me die
To give an ear attentive to my cry
To pause in his marching and not hurry by.


I do not ask for anything I do not speak
I do not question and I do not seek
I used to in the day when I was weak.


Now I am strong and lapped in sorrow
As in a coat of magic mail and borrow
From Time today and care not for tomorrow.
