Mystery Man: The Man Who Could Not Speak

The mysterious man who could not speak
Stood silently and gazed upwards.
"I am dumb, God,"
He admitted.
"I don't understand.
Why do you not allow me to speak like others?
Have you kept me silent all these years
So that you could speak through me?"
Huge tears rolled down his cheeks.
Thunder resounded and lightning lit up the sky.
"I can hear your thunder resounding
And I see your lightning flashing."
His thoughts seemed overwhelming.
"Wise is the man who remains silent
And lets God speak through him."
He waited.
"But I cannot speak, God.
I am dumb.
Speak to others through me
With power and might."
He waited again.
"God are you dumb, too?
Can you not speak to me in my agony?
Please speak on my behalf."

A man who cannot speak asks God to speak on his behalf.
