+------"The Queen's Moment; Mordecai's Words to Esther Urging Her To See The King"- A Poem Based on Esther 4:6-17

I cant quite explain to you the sound
of God's Voice, it’s a sweet
hollow ringing of the cosmos,
like overhearing angel liturgy
streaming down highly refined
strata to earth indecipherable
in the air. Too ineffable to interpret,
too imprecise as to be rendered
human, yet poignant. But when He
speaks everything you knew
changes, lightning streaking in the
darkness of the precreation
void…ex nihilo. Anyway, He told me
He wants you to find strength without
delay. To go before the King and
redirect the Angel of Death’s gaze
lest spates of innocent Hebrew blood
surge throughout the streets, and ghosts
of your regret vacillate to and fro
etching Haman's inverted name
on dilapidated walls in
Persian slums for years to come. Esther,
now is the time to save your people.
Surely you were born for this,
face aglow like Moses on the Mount,
determined to protect a nation from wrath.


---------------------Esther 4:6-17
So Hathak went out to Mordecai in the open square of the city in front of the king’s gate. Mordecai told him everything that had happened to him, including the exact amount of money Haman had promised to pay into the royal treasury for the destruction of the Jews. He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict for their annihilation, which had been published in Susa, to show to Esther and explain it to her, and he told him to instruct her to go into the king’s presence to beg for mercy and plead with him for her people. Hathak went back and reported to Esther what Mordecai had said. Then she instructed him to say to Mordecai, “All the king’s officials and the people of the royal provinces know that for any man or woman who approaches the king in the inner court without being summoned the king has but one law: that they be put to death unless the king extends the gold scepter to them and spares their lives. But thirty days have passed since I was called to go to the king.” When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions.
