Serenity

In a transparent myriad of men
I stand, transfixed
I am lost, searching

''Am I the Crestfallen?'' I ask
There is no light...
''Am I the Blinded?'' I ask
...nor serenity

Redeem me, I yearn
I yearn for an answer
I am lost, searching

''Am I to vanish like water?'' I ask
The desert is my daily bread...
''Am I to wither like trodden grass?'' I ask
...and tears of threefold my drink

Redeem me, I yearn
I am lost, dear God
Redeem me from this nothingness
