Crying Mercy

I am crying sorrow,
   daggers have pierced my heart;
         Lord, please grant me mercy,
             I mourn in dreams all night,  
                          for peace I am thirsty.

I am crying sorrow,
   my house is weather stained;
          threads of happy are rare,
                   I pray for compassion,
                      dear Lord, please have a care.

I am crying sorrow,
   clouds like gauzy curtains;
              red sun rising as blood,
                      to shine as a jewel,
                         and I pick wild rosebud.

I am crying sorrow,
   and wishing for mercy;
      send me grace and blessings,
                oh, give me tenderness,
                      and sweet happy endings.

Hilda Greenhough December 3, 2024 at 3:43 PM This is interesting. Is it more sorrowful to start a poem, or to end it. Keep writing. It's a good thing. Constance La France December 3, 2024 at 5:20 PM Hilda, thank you for the comment and compliment, blessings
