It wins.
It always wins.
And
But
Mr Noah didnt speak a lot, when he did though you took heed,
Hey there, little dove, he called, Youre to be freed.
Its not like Im a prisoner, I thought, and I was right,
But when theres nowhere to fly to, theres not much point in flight.
It had rained for forty nights, and rained for forty days,
The whole world under water, and now he smiles and says:
Weve waited long enough for the water to subside,
Time to send an explorer to see whats left outside.
Youd have thought hed send a kestrel, they fly really fast,
Or an eagle, or a condor, as they can really last
For days in the air, and wouldnt need to rest
As often as I would, and wouldnt get so stressed.
No.
Not so.
Harvest,
A gathering in,
Autumn thrives, the thankful time.
The season which serves to remind us that dying isnt the end,
That there is a life everlasting for those who are willing to tend
Their crops and their fields and their thoughts and their soul,
The chattels that matter, that make them whole.
You sow and you reap, you receive your reward,
The fruits of that labour hard won.
The bounty of autumn is the bounty of life
So give thanks to the Father and Son.
What a Day
What a day, what a day.
It began just like any other,
Tied up and bored, lonely, ignored,
They could have chosen another.
That one, they said, He looks well fed,
We like his quiet behaviour.
He looks pretty strong, we wont need him long,
Do you think he can carry a Saviour?
