mushroom

Mushroom Revisited Again
1-9-18

In morels, toadstools and puffballs
For the audacity to endure running into walls
In all of such genera
I pour out my soul today hoping to just shine
Wanting to say that it's all mine
Under the gospel's rage
Leaning not to my own understanding
Slick to iniquity and slow to observe
To pick my antiquity for a nose
To serve in flesh and blood
All is vanity O, wretched man that I am
O, Lord redeem my soul
He said it would be crazy
And no one knows the whole picture
Turning the volume halfway down to hear the base
The ship is furnished and births are mentioned
And Nephi is freed...





"O, Gratify!"
1-9-18

No one forced you to take up the pen
Nor to bear this page delivered again from the Lion's den
But for what cause but to verify my age in all willingness and acceptance
Ones own understanding futile
And they still harden their hearts and beg God for instant gratification
The easy way out
O, what's it all about
There is no such need when one doth renounce greed
Where my gift is as to the Savior the building of the ship hath just begun
God, cut me some slack
O, how I learn the hard way
In Hart I boarded
Just run the honest engine
And be willing to do it all again
As so the author lives in Idaho
Working in small and simple ways....
