‘Give ear to my words, O LORD;
give heed to my sighing.
Listen to the sound of my cry,
my King and my God,
for to you I pray.
O LORD, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I plead my case to you, and watch.’
Psalm 5:1-3
our sighs just linger
around us each morning
like a bad dream –
the plight of refugees,
the countries they are fleeing,
the angry words which
settle as a mist upon us,
the struggles of those
for whom there is no hope
and we wonder
if you are as weary
of our sighs a we are
even as we hope
you will transform them
into food we can offer
justice we can bring
peace into warzones
and love patching potholes
caused by hate and fear
