Careful, good news is hot (not pearls for swine)
An urge bubbling
An insistence
To expend those missives
Earned through tears
And delight
Pouring over the
Truffles of Holy Writ.
(I did not say trifles; far from it.)
We go on after
We are finished.
It is zeal of
A preliminary sort.
Not recognizing mortal
Disinclination to
Listen intently
Unselfishly.
Dedicating honest moments.
Rather...
Pick a few gems
Drop them rudely
And unadorned.
Just like the parables.
Hungry Ones will
Take valiant effort
To make it through swamp
To solid footing.
Confident of answers.
Shouting the Victory.
And the rest?
Well, that's another Day.
That's another Providence.
Yep.
