A Summer Lament

(An adaptation of Psalm 88)

Lord God, you save me,
all day and night I seek you.
May my words reach you;
Turn a listening ear.
For my soul is full of trouble
and it's only the start of summer.

I call out for your guidance, Lord;
this morning my prayers meet you.
You took my companions and loved ones from me;
the shadows are my closest friend.
My soul is full of trouble
and it's only the start of summer.
