You heard me - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

Even when words failed me
when words would not come
when my cries
my moans, in pain
the ache of my sin
heavy on my heart
sobbing in your temple
tears falling
sprayed out of me

You heard me
the stirrings of my heart
knowing my folly
the turning from you
that I am that Prodigal
knowing you and yet turned
to the flesh, to the world
to the baser desires
knowing my sin
in the pit of realization
bawling to you
you heard me
and lifted me up
changing me forever
in you alone
