6 | Abraham, Abraham, you are old and cannot hear: \ | ||
7 | what if you miss my small voice amongst the creaking \ | ||
8 | of your own grief, kill your son unknowing \ | ||
9 | of what he will be, and commit Israel to nothing? | ||
10 | |||
11 | Abraham, you must know or hope that God \ | ||
12 | will not allow your son to die; you must know \ | ||
13 | that this is a test, but then why \ | ||
14 | are you so bent on Isaac's destruction? \ | ||
15 | Look at your eyes; there is more than fear \ | ||
16 | there. I see in your eyes desperation, \ | ||
17 | a manic passion to do right by your God \ | ||
18 | whom you are not able to see or know. | ||
19 | |||
20 | Am I too late? I will try to stay \ | ||
21 | your old hands, the knife clenched \ | ||
22 | within them, intent on ending life. | ||
23 | |||
24 | Will you hear my small voice amongst the creaking, \ | ||
25 | or will it be the chance bleating of a passing ram? | ||
