"The Crew"


“The Crew”

cji
11/24/10

Never in the limelight
traveling as bit parts
toiling deep in the hold
or high on the top-masts
feeling the horrific waves
ragged lightning bursts
reeling in the dense fog
hanging from the shrouds
death and illusions about
sea foam blowing blindness
shrilling deafness at all
unabated seconds to years
returning joyous/sad tears
those harkening to the call
giving service and kindness
earnestly without doubt
beyond storms are clouds
as we are the sheep dog
there we’ll find the First
no longer to hide in caves
or as the unique out-casts
Our Savior us will enfold
embracing each our hearts
going as last into full light!

The earth is the mortal ship
in small abodes we serve
a crew each with missions
improving all as we go forth
making people happy too
sharing love and truth
whether old or as youth
the Gospel eternally true
revelations and visions
blessing those who deserve
the crew of the Lord’s ship!
