Poetry
Heard From The Ground
Two brothers two souls
Given different roles
Abel tends the sheep
Cain labors the ground
For now…Cain is found
Tilling the ground.
Abel desires to bring
His best offering.
Cain’s gift did not suit
God gives him warning
For picking the fruit
Fruit of the ground.
Sin knocks on Cain’s door
Rage gets loose to roar
Causing ill demise
Abel breathes no more
God hears Abel’s cries
Cries of the ground.
Poured blood had spoken
Though Abel lay broken
By brother’s strife
The ground soakin’
Precious blood of life...
God heard from the ground.

Based on Genesis 4
Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

What a creative way to tell that story! I often wonder how many others, like myself, have read that story at one time or another and were convicted to Godly sorrow (which leads to such repentence) for the times when they hurt another soul... especially when that hurting could in some way contribute to their physical or spiritual death. How gracious of the Lord to give us such stories for the cleansing of our hearts!
This is good. Thomas
