The king's dream


After Daniel 2
 

The king, more than 

troubled by a dream;

the king, frightened.

scared, terrified

by a dream. Wise men

summoned, not only

to interpret and explain,

but to describe the dream

(the king knew his servants,

his magicians, his sorcerers, 

his enchanters). Wise men 

fail, and wise men die.

 

One man, renamed

Belteshazzar, prayed.

The dream revealed,

the man praised

the revealer.
