"Eyes to See, Faith to Walk"

Behold God's script inscribed across the skies,
His knowledge rides the ocean's endless roar.
Each wave reflects a wisdom on the shore,
The world revolves where sacred rhythms rise.

For this door waits for a knock to open.
He awaits for us on the other side.
Open it to the upward path, full stride.
With your answers that might come unspoken.

Let your eyes be single to God's glory.
Open your eyes that you'd be clean in all.
Keep both eyes open, careful to not fall.
Prepare your eyes to read every story.

So knock with faith, and let your vision grow,
Then walk the path His light will bid you go.

 Sonnet of the Harvest

    "I. The Silent Vineyard"

The Lord shares, with all—His symbols foretold.
For in his region and the same season,
With stalks and thorns living with all reason,
With angels quick for the reaping when told.

In the vineyard spoke none—a silent hush.
Some seeds were sown by one whose heart was dire.
For smoky winds dampened out holy fire.
No lampstand to take its place in a rush.

The Lord calls His workers—no longer blocked.
Out of the stubble, oaths made strong again.
The Lord reclaims His own to live and reign.
Roots now watered where prophets once had walked.

Though sown with trials, still the field is wide,
The meek shall reap what heaven will decide.

   "II. The Gathering"

Each lawful heir is marked—by heaven's ink.
A lineage that forms with vessels chosen.
Rings of promise worn on land and ocean.
Bring a blessing for all with eyes that blink.

The upcoming gathering—final stage.
Are we to be found gathered with the weeds,
Are blown away with the chaff in the reeds,
Or gathered with wheat, no matter your age.

The sickle swings beneath a steady hand.
The Master scans each soul with perfect view.
No robe nor mask will hide what’s just and true.
The breath of mercy sweeps across the land.

Choose now your root, your soil, your place to grow,
Before the winds decide which way you’ll go.

"Bound by Promise, Led by Light"

It's a rod of power from Aaron's hand
It brings a lesser light that cleanses the soul.
A doorway to the path that makes us whole.
This lamp shows path but not the sun that stands.

Higher order calls down celestial fire.
The hand that seals the mysteries of light.
Ladder of earth's light to eternal life.
To ready those before their time grows dire.

For God’s sworn promise binds us to fulfill,
Through cleansing fire, His faithful hearts are sworn;
By hands divine the newborn souls are borne,
With hope to honor truth and do God's will.

Let truth be guide where mortal shadows fall,
Till Christ’s pure light redeems and crowns us all.

Poem - "His Power and Authority"

God's power on earth is for each.
Through his ordinances he'll preach.
God's mystery is manifest.
By this authority you're blessed.

God has his covenant and oath.
He asks us to receive them both.
We promise to magnify all,
living by his word is the call.

Repent and remember the word
Given by prophets, til it's heard.
Don't neglect Mormon's word to read
Then share it with all those who need.
