Coming Instantly
2-23-18

Where the band plays like a jungle fire
Back on the live wire we find it afresh
And we are given a courage we can't understand
For whiteout morning of insight and one last snowfall
Coming instantly scents of fields where we lower our shields
For gratitude of our atonement
As we pull our load with Him in ordinances of the priesthood
In rain we can glory in it
As I transcend all despair....




On Isaiah 41:7
2-23-18

O, is my strength as the strength of stones
Is not my help in me as to save the weak and enslave no longer the meek
For blessings of discipleship
Planning for the next needed ordinance
She really didn't mind but she cared
As to confirm my calling
Isaiah by my every standard
Keep silence before me
O, coastlines calling Him to His beautiful feet
It's going to be a good one today
Where the craftsman encumbered the goldsmith....





Tenuous Strings (For Lucky Ducks)
2-23-18

O, magnify every calling
Even that which might seem at first appalling
Where I didn't understand why that innocent people have to die
Near the front with her children that give suck
Considering myself a lucky duck
As to teach the Deacon's Quorum on tenuous strings
As I bring along my things
It wasn't that I didn't want to serve
Where bones belie holy and acceptable
O, will I ever be at San Francisco City Hall
It seems our back is up against the wall....




Phyllo And Fera
2-23-18

Clefts on our roots
Seats for stumps and boots
In our own Cooper Union Cafeteria
I grab three more milks from the crate
For excess to but recreate where this moment is so contagious
And I close the doors
Is not my help in me
In my flesh of brass for Phyllo in layers
And the naming of all the players
Baked in green dishes as something to observe
Coming in close for the prophet's profit
Eating feta cheese figuratively down on my knees
To him that is afflicted
O, be it peace to all.....
