questions

Destruction in Homs, Syria 2012

“While I am asking questions which You do not answer, You ask me a question which is so simple that I cannot answer. I do not even understand the question.”  Thomas Merton
 
“In distress you called and I rescued you; I answered you in secret with thunder.” Psalm 81: 8

City in rubble,

walls exposed,

shattered windows,

shards

rudely ripping

`children

waking

the dead

searching

for any good reason

to live.

They ask

questions

which you do not

answer.

I want to understand

your master-plan

but you speak

in secret

in whispers of

thunder.
