"Wild Flocks"



 Mosiah 8:20 O how marvelous are the works of the Lord, and how long doth he suffer with his people; yea, and how blind and impenetrable are the understandings of the children of men; for they will not seek wisdom, neither do they desire that she should rule over them!

 21 Yea, they are as a wild flock which fleeth from the shepherd, and scattereth, and are driven, and are devoured by the beasts of the forest.

 

“Wild Flocks”

7/23/15

 

Running here and there

playing games till it’s dark

then lost and unseeing

having lost sight and feeling

only the darkness’ dampness

clinging to the wetness about

putting off our scent to beasts

who see in the night to feast

thus so many are lost forever

into the ravages of the world

feeling once safety in numbers

only to be lost in confusions

to be found without within

wild flocks once not so

trusting in the worldly all

failing to hear the call

‘my sheep hear my voice!’
