Lament
Lament
When it is time to return
To Eternity’s ever-climbing path,
Why do I delay?
Countless are my twisted ways.
Why can I not surrender cheerfully
Without hesitation
Or reservation?
Once again, God’s Hour is postponed,
Indefinitely.
Faint cries of desperation
Reverberate
And dissolve
Within my soul’s impenetrable
Depths of silence.
Unheard…
– Pulak Viscardi.
