dear tenderhearted adult me

so loud.  crashing thoughts.  pounding images.
raging emotions.

noise.  clamor.  racket.

crawl.  creep.  tip-toe.
does not matter.
he sees.  hears.  intercepts.

alone.  midnight.  in the corner.
in the shadow.

quietness comes. pandemonium silenced.
jesus whispers.

he is my hope.  my strength.  my refuge.

people.  he created.  tormented him.
tortured him.  ridiculed him.  rejected him.

yet his compassion.  persisted.
his mercy.  magnified.
his grace.  relentless.

he is strong.  gentle.  tender.  kind.

his truth.  softens my heart.

i believe.

he knows.  knows all.
