Time Wanes Thin
I never felt to push or shove
people toward the God of love.
It seemed that it was not my place,
“Just give them time and give them space”.
But then I came to understand,
when vision of a failing dam
appeared in revelation’s dream,
and as I dreamt I looked to see
a town that lay downstream below.
In dead of night, they did not know
that little time remained until
collapse would come and floods would fill
the valley, bringing death to all
the sleeping souls, and so I called
as loud as I could raise my voice.
I ran the streets, I had no choice.
I beat upon windows and doors.
I warned of what things lay in store
if folks would not rise up and leave,
but many simply looked at me
as though I were a crazy fool.
Some slammed their doors, and some were cruel.
They mocked me as they turned away,
and I had no more time to stay.
For in the distance I could hear
the raging flood that now was near.
And all that I could do was flee
to higher ground for my safety.
Then as I turned and looked back down,
a wall of water swept the town
with total devastating force.
I cried out loud. My heart remorsed.
If only they had known the cost,
but they are gone, so many lost.
And so I learned from that night’s dream
I do not have the luxury,
to sit and let the time wane thin.
The time is now, I must begin
to warn as many as I can.
For soon shall come...
The Son of Man.
