Cry of a Thirsty Soul

sonnetina rispetto Why are you anxious, O my soul? Hope thou in God; He's in control. In mocking tones, my tears have asked, Where is this God for whom you thirst? Are you with trouble now immersed? Has God your destiny miscast? Why are you anxious, O my soul? Hope thou in God; He's in control. As with the breaking of my bones, my enemies oppress with stones. In mocking tones, my tears have asked, Has God your destiny miscast? Why are you anxious, O my soul? Hope thou in God; He’s in control.

Great work about Psalms 73..It speaks strongly of your faith..Thanks for stopping by..About the brevete poem just type in on your search engine brevete poem on Shadow Poetry and look at what it says about the form also just type in brevete poem on your search engine and just look at what other places say about it..From what I read I think that it is only one poem much like the modern Haiku but I chose to write the three..Sara
