Oh Job, what were you thinking,
calling out the Creator
in anger and righteousness,
demanding answers of our God?
Be careful what you ask for
something more than you can handle
challenging the One
who came before the world.
His response more than you could answer
coming in the thundering whirlwind;
His questions beyond any mortal
none of us can come close
to the wisdom of God.
Responding as you finally ought to
humbly acknowledging the distance
the span between you and God;
Heeding the wisdom
to be silent and listen, humble,
for the words that God alone can speak.

“As a poet, if you could use your words to go back into history
and
change one thing, what would it be and why?”
