God Speaks In Dreams
God speaks in dreams, though man does not perceive.
In visions, as man slumbers, does He guide.
He opens ears. He terrifies. With weaves,
He wends a path to circumvent man's pride.
And thus, man's soul is spared from pit or sword.
As well, through pain and strife in bones, chastised
Till life loathes bread, sweet morsels no reward,
Flesh wasted, on the brink, death's end a prize.
Then, He steps in, declares to man the truth,
And, grace on grace, says, "I will ransom you,
Restore to you your days of vigor, youth."
Then does man pray to God with joy anew:
"Though I have sinned, perverted what was right,
You have redeemed, returned my life to light.”
(from Job 33)
