The Task

Naught was stirring as I slumbered tight A dream came over me as I woke with a fright There stood a man dressed white as snow His robes they were lit with an eerie glow You can ask any question, so what will it be? The answer will come from one greater than me I simply asked; what would god have me do? A voice from above thundered loud and true Keep my commandments is all that I ask The more time passes the more demanding the task
