divine intervention

in times
of dire need, in trouble,
when lost
and trapped in a world
not of your own,
you pray
for deliverance,
but it seems as if
God is not listening,
or cares.
and the months drag
on.
the misery of life
unfolding
without end.
then finally, you ask
for a message,
a sign,
something unquestionable
to show you
what is true,
something that will free
you from
the nightmare you are
stuck in.
and then it happens.
the clouds part,
the rain ceases
and the wind
stops. you are given
the answer.
