The Two Calls (of Dietrich Bonheoffer)
when the first call came
it was a call to leave everything
my father, my mother, my wife, my sister
my brother
when the second call came
it rose a whisper in my being
it said "do you want me? do you want me?
do you want, do you really want me?"
"go up on the mountain, gather stones for an altar
lay on the branches, fill the ditches up with water
take the thing you love the most
take the thing you love the most
take the thing that holds your deepest love
and bind it's hands and feet there."
