THE DREAMER*
Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28
The brothers’ hatred,
the doting of the father,
imperil Joseph.
Now Joseph’s brothers,
in their hate, conspire to kill
that master of dreams.
It’s a near run thing,
God’s dream and promise survive,
but uncertainly.
There’s a parallel:
the betrayal and sell-out
that Jesus suffered.

* Heb: ‘that master of dreams’
