Patience of Job

Indication-

Defeated.

Friends scarce

Or judgemental.

Feeling like Job.


What have

I done wrong

Screamed in silence.


Nothing echoes

In the seeming

Night that has

Fallen on

Sorrowful

Shoulders.


Yesterday blessed.

Abundance shared.

Friends plentiful

And full of

Praise for

Good names.

A moment's

Dusting of reality-

Poof!

Suddenly

Unclean in

The eyes of

Pontificating peers.


Your sin

Must be grave

Give us the

Scoop.


Digging deeper

Than a child

In a bucket

Of Ben and Jerry's.

Begging for

Dark despicable

Bones rattling

In closets.

Blind to their

Arrogance.


They fear my plight

Out of kindness

Or cruelty.

Has me wondering

Why the sparrows they

Hang around.


Yet faith

Makes haste

Sealing in

Its own form

Of comfort.


Purposeful,

Mysteries aside,

Simply refusing

The age old

Lie that had

Adam hiding

From his

Creator

I know,

Even in the

Midst of

Overwhelming

Evidence

Of power failure,

I have not

Been Abandoned.
