He should have spoken about Job

I found myself
Entombed in the throes of her sorrows like
A sunken Spanish galleon nestled softly
Under the heft of the Ocean
Silent and sincere
As the waters that
Held it tight
Suffocating under the weight of her tears

And then the pastor spoke
About John and God's miracles
About faith and hope
About the malignant tumor in his wife's breast
And the day it became benign
He should have spoken about doubt
He should have spoken about Job

Maybe I would have understood

awesome awesome awesome poem.  seriously.  i am floored by how good this is.

It's a pretty heavy piece you laid down.  I hope it helps you walk a little lighter.

Again, excellent work.  I'm not just saying that.
