Sentenced to be executed, running off to die;
visited by one who brought necessities for life;
fortified for journey to a place where he could be revived;
yet he held on tightly to self-pity and to grief.
—-
Shown the might behind him through an earthquake, wind and fire;
met with silence from the One who called him to look higher;
still afraid, maintaining that a threat of death assured his fate;
Nonetheless went on a mission that would make him great.
