The Scoffer's Song

You took a deep breath

To sigh in sympathy I thought.

But No!

You were beside yourself in mirth!

You were laughing at me!

Gulping air,

You filled and refilled your windbag

Bleating out the discordant chords

Of that ancient score - the scoffer’s song

Puncture your windbags I wish I could

But there I sat well beaten - head bowed

I sat and prayed, you mocked and brayed

I prayed how I prayed

(But you all night brayed)

My wounds were healed

My soul annealed

With a gentle wind, without a word,

He lifted my head

Praying I was dear Jesus lord

Bloodied I am but bowed?

Hell no!

Your braying has stopped –you little fool!

Now I ponder the reason you all night cry
