Got a buzz early morn
Dreamy…I picked the phone
A subtle noise
That never occurred
So alien… So providential

I said “who’s this? “
He said...This is god
Want to talk to you
Can I have a while?
I said... no I am busy;
I need you friend
Was his call...

This must be crazy
Or just a dream
Can’t be real
As god is no being

The voice was no ordinary
It was excruciate
I asked ‘what’s wrong”
He said “I am in pain”
God in pain?
And what went next
Changed my life’s text

He said it pains
To see you cry
Fight and live in wry
He said it pains
To see the world
So beautiful destroy

I said.
Its you who gives us pain and anxiety
Its you who tests us with brutality
Its you who finds joy in suffering
Its you who dictated all the doctrine


I felt a quiver across the phone
Was god crying?

Or am I still dreaming
He said
My child you got it wrong
I am your father,
So how can I walk you through thorn?

I test you son
By the units of time
I teach you lessons
Right and wrong
You run for things
That you see
Forget the universe
Beyond your reach

You seek the light
That your eyes perceive
Where’s the light
That your mind sees

Pain is the lesson
That makes you learn
Gives you the strength
To keep moving on
With every wound
You go strong
With every blood
You know what is wrong

I was bewildered
With what he said
Some made sense
Some didn’t
What god thinks
I don’t know
But it changed my world
That’s for sure
