Moses Answers
I was never one for words
but since you mention I did reach
into that shrub that burned
with glory
glory that shined beneath
my veil!.
They fell as dead
whimpering beneath the pillar
shied away as I stretched out
to cradle them
they didn’t understand
I had become more than a man
They could not bear to see
to hear the words spoken from thunder
They asked for my simple
words instead
They asked for a desert tongue
parched these last forty years
They asked for the earth to swallow
and the mountains to cover
For yes, my hands
to re-carve the words
left shattered
the law that would guide
and condemn
The law marked between
my stutters, my calluses
the bush that still sparks
the glory of the fading windWww@QuestionHome@Com
