Haikus: Unseen Sorrows
Start: 27 Apr 2024 at 3:32AM
End: 27 Apr 2024 at 5:28AM

"Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live among people who cannot understand."

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." - Psalm 34:18


Ruth sits alone in a dimly lit room, her head is bowed sadly, while Sharon approaches with open arms.


Ruth signs "sad" and "lonely":
Invisible pain,
A good unseen soul's sorrow,
Yearning to be heard.

Sharon signs "empathy" and "kindness":
Kind heart reaches out,
Offering empathic touch,
Binding wounds of pain.

Ruth:
Dear God, I lay bare,
Unseen sorrows weigh me down,
Heal my wounded heart.

Sharon:
Lord, guide me to see,
The hidden pain in others,
Bring understanding.

Ruth:
Grant me strength to rise,
Faced with misunderstandings,
Embrace me with love.

Sharon:
May our hearts unite,
With compassion and empathy,
Building bridges of care.
Amen.
