At The Palace Of Abgarus V, In Edessa
[Abgarus, loquitor]
That which afflicts me, I shall not resent;
because the cure---I say---is imminent:
a cure, in some form, is soon to arrive,
and will restore me and cause me to thrive.
My task, now, is: wait for delivery;
nor give into doubt's fearful perfidy.
Jesus has not rejected my request:
He did not refuse, but told me to wait.
In His timing, neither "early" nor "late"
describes His Will, by which I will be blessed.
To question that is trite and frivolous.
What did you say?---someone has asked for me?---
a traveler who hails from Galilee?
He told you that his name is Thaddeus?
