HE LOVES, HE HEARD (Villanelle)

So quietly was heard to sigh,
Tears softly falling from within,
Our Lord, He heard her every cry.

Heart breaking only heard on high,
The inner soul was heard to weep,
So quietly was heard to sigh.

With weeping heart, she said goodbye,
Pieces scattered throughout her soul,
Our Lord, He heard her every cry.

The sound of wings heard from up high,
The angels came to ease her heart,
So quietly was heard to sigh.

Though man will seek the reasons why,
Heaven’s voice responds in silence,
Our Lord, He heard her every cry.

So painfully the questions lie,
Her heart stays focused on the Son,
So quietly was heard to sigh,
Our Lord, He heard her every cry.
