God said to Abraham: “Go forth, <br />first to the Promised Land, <br />then east, west, south and north; <br />your seed shall be like sand <br />upon the shores and shine <br />like stars that shine at night.” <br />He went without a sign; <br />these words had brought delight <br />to him, and Sarah too, <br />and so they traveled west <br />and southwards, for they knew <br />that traveling is best. <br />Their seed has traveled far <br />north, south and west and east, <br />and many of them are <br />still waiting for the feast <br />they hope will happen when <br />they’ll wake up one fine day <br />to hear God tell the men: <br />“Go forth no more, but stay.” <br />But those who don’t believe <br />will ask God for a proof, <br />and He’ll tell them to leave, <br />remaining on the move. <br /> <br />9/24/97,6/9/06 <br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/go-forth/
