the turmoil within me grew worse.

at best, each of us is but a breath.”

Hear my prayer, Jehovah, and give ear unto my cry; be not silent at my tears: for I am a stranger with thee, a sojourner, like all my fathers.

Listen to my cries for help!
Don’t ignore my tears.
For I am your guest —
a traveler passing through,
as my ancestors were before me.
