I love this Rendition. What struck me so strongly this time reading (that I missed before) was the way in which you open with a ''she". That is lovely!
"And settest me before thy face forever."
I really like the image of "slender thread(s)of prayer(s)" being wrapped around God's fingers.
“I was never good at hiding what I suffered.
I knew something was wrong,
But found the wrong names for it.
My head ached. I barely ate. I lost weight.”
Spot on. And then that last stanza lands so well!
I really love that image of wrapping our prayers like a string around God’s finger.
