Hi James: The first stanza is supposed to represent the moment of desperation when a person may feel there last hope is divine. A rapid cry of agitation and despair. And God is silent in the person's despair. The second stanza is supposed to represent a different time of life, "blessed". However, now the speaker is silent. Supposedly, this is the answer to why God is silent; the concept that people cry to God in tribulation; but later, revel in His goodness without speaking, thanking, or gratitude. And, the last stanza represents a return to darkness. I speak with spiritualistic language because of the topic; a theological question that is supposed to address the silence of God. I would have hoped that days dressed in black would symbolize dark days. Thank you for your suggestions and your time; Obviously, I need to find a better approach. Thanks again, Loretta
