A Villanelle poem
Sometimes I can't hear Your answer
through my trials and tribulations
even within my darkest hour.

I know You hear every whisper
even when my cold course darkens.
Sometimes I can't hear Your answer.

You will always be my anchor—
taking away all my burdens
even within my darkest hour.

With joy, I know You're my Father.
To every cry, Your ear listens;
sometimes I can't hear Your answer.

You move me with Your great power,
and I watch as the way straightens
even within my darkest hour.

I know you are still my keeper
every time I see the heavens.
Sometimes I can't hear Your answer
even within my darkest hour.
