MERCY The rain stitches grief to the dogwoods as I stitch myself to the world & if somebodys laughing, I want to hear cause Im a very sad girl I have put in for promotion You have signed up for a war I ask for your prayers & You ask for my songs You always talk about Jesus I always talk about me Still, there is nothing between us Thats the way it should be Let this gather us, watching through the windows Our faces pressed tight against the drapes That our mothers made Let this gather us, watching through the windows Let this bring us mercy I have a sibling for each hand They each have hearts for me My arms are outstretched, but They are not near me If there is an ocean between us Or a continent or more & our letters get lost & The phone is disconnected Let this gather us
There are many storms but no fear There are many saints They live right here They stand tall in the silences Their eyes like wells Their voices like bells Let this gather us
I know your arm like a mantle You know my mouth like your bed I am protected You are asleep & we are both well-fed © 2005 Reva Williams
