A cry, silent in the night, <br />Taken by angels heavenwards <br />To the ear of God on high <br />As if the Angels were birds… <br /> <br />At the ceasing of their flapping wings <br />They give the words to God and say, <br />Here is a cry, silent, from the night, <br />But God: he waves them away! <br /> <br />One looks to the other in wonder <br />As if to ask each other how can God not care <br />But reading their thoughts, the Lord said <br />“When the Cry was uttered: I was there! ”<br /><br />Tomás Ó Cárthaigh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-cry-silent-in-the-night/
