Reason A. Poteet Poet Rispetto

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.
