Two Dreams

A three branched vine grows Blossoms ripen into grapes Pressed and placed in the king's hand The branches are days Your office will be restored King's cupbearer as before Three baskets on head Top one has food for the king Birds eat from bottommost one The baskets are days The king will lift up your head And the birds will eat your flesh
————— These are the dreams of the cupbearer and the baker, told to Joseph while they were all in prison. Since the sedoka is supposed to use 2 sets of 3 lines to look at the same thing in two different ways, I thought perhaps the dream and its interpretation might work. There's not much room to work with, though! (From Genesis 40)

Hi Jeff, I just watched the story of Joseph the other day. I found it to be a good form to tell the story. I commend you for using this platform to share the gospel. Well done. Have a nice day and weekend-Alexis
