And I am yet to go out on a fishing trip
For crustaceans and mollusks and anthropods
As unto what is just and true I get a tighter grip

As idolatry can take the form of enthusiasm
Of learning science and math
And still I seek knowledge
And of school last night I dreamed
And it is these little things in life

And the fleshly nature lives on
And for this there is a reason
For God has created woman and man.....

As we are melted down through our love and hate
And even if I've gotten away from that metal shop class
Still such crazy dreams remain a part of my inner being
And still I have a desire to go back to work with that steel and brass
And create something from the fruit of the trial
Knowing that hurting is another part of seeing...
