[Truerenigma]

More of an idea roughed out...rough and def not ready, but still having fun working on it.

One last prayer.

Not content with rescue from an overlord,
plunder, pillars of fire, clouds of witness,
being adopted by their God
parting water and bitter turned to sweet;
a million plus - Oh and don’t forget
asses, sheep, cattle and camels
demanded chilled Perrier.

In deep despair he waded past the tide
of effluent, moaning beasts and faithless ingrates
with their whiny brats and struck the rock.
Not once but twice. He knew he should have spoken
commanding words to carry to their ears;
But hang it all, after all his tears and prayers
supplicating like grains of sand,
a man can have the odd melt down.

Grace was multiplied and his outburst
produced a flood, that gushed from the rock.
Who would have thought that you could surf in a desert!
Enough for a million moaning mouths
livestock, wives et al.
Chilled and fresh, life giving – living water.
The story does not relate how this much water
was stored. Did it simply flow into a sink hole
or made a lake, or perhaps a giant slurry pit...
Well all that shit had to go somewhere.

Moses, friend of God, sat atop his final
resting plot and enjoyed the view.
Reviewing the incident of the knocking
on the rock. "Good God, I have had my fill
of all things flowing”. They buried Mosses
on that quiet, dry and rocky plateau.
The mighty man of prayer received his answer.
The muttering maul moved on into a land
flowing with milk and honey - the story relates how it all got very messy!

I really enjoyed this A.J. I'd hang on to it if I was you. Might be good to workshop it later.
