In Time: A Haiku

NOW COMES the Respondent, another wave in the tide
A meritless crash upon an innocent shore
Another Excuse lacking an answer
Forcing me to question my sun and my senses
Allege a wrongdoing, a heartbreak, a theft
And cry a toddler’s tantrum as the sand swallows then recedes from my feet
Hang your worn and torn
On My strong, shining shoulders
Ask of Me your “Why?”
Matthew 11:28-30
