ANOTHER CONVERSATION
WHY ONLY ONE
IN ALL THE LAND,
I THOUGHT, AS I TRIED TO SEE.
YET, IF I HEAR
WHAT THE PROPHET SAID,
THAT WIDOW CAN BE ME!
IS THAT WHAT HE MEANT
WHEN HE SAID TO SOME,
THIS CAN BE ELIJAH
WHO WAS TO COME.
TO TURN YOUR HEARTS BACK
AGAIN UNTO ME,
TO KNOW THAT YOU WON’T
GO HUNGRY.
SUCH A FOREIGN WAY,
MY MIND STARTS TO YELL.
THIS MUST BE A MESSAGE
STRAIGHT FROM HELL.
THEN, I REMEMBER
THAT HE SAID,
WOULD I LET MY CHILD
GO WITHOUT BREAD?
TWO EYES AGAIN;
THEY BOTH CAN SEE.
MY LORD SAYS,
LOOK THROUGH THE GLASS
AT ME.
DON’T RESURRECT THAT ONE
FROM THE DEAD.
WE SETTLED THIS ONCE;
WILL YOU BE LED
WITH ME TO A PLACE
THAT I HAVE PREPARED
OR WORK FOR WHAT’S YOURS,
BECAUSE YOU ARE SCARED
THAT MY WORD THAT I’VE GIVEN
WON’T PASS THE TEST,
SO YOU WORK, JUST IN CASE,
BUT IT GIVES YOU NO REST.
YOUR LABOR IS GOOD
IF IT’S WRESTLING TO ENTER
THE PLACE OF MY REST,
WHERE I’M IN THE CENTER.
NOW, DON’T YOU DARE SETTLE
FOR ANYTHING LESS
THAN THIS PERFECT WAY
THAT I’VE ALREADY BLESSED!
SO, LOGIC BE DAMNED!
IT’S TIME TO STAY DEAD;
TO RUN FREE AND ALIVE
IN WHAT FATHER HAS SAID.
