Magdalene's Plea

As darkness overshadows the day
I lay quietly like a gentle baby
Firmly cradled on mama’s strong arms
And yet sleep escapes my grasp

Hush, hush
Be still my disconcerted heart
Muffled voices from within
Silence cuts through my heart

For a sinner I’am
Searching for Divine wisdom
Yes, it is a crime
A transgression to my faith

But oh what greater sin it is
To go on living with a lie
Condemn me, cast your stones
For with each drop of blood
I live again…
