Propensity
Those sounds and smells of childhood,
all the things that can't be bought -
adrift in mem'ries of my youth,
I've lost more than I thought.

I'm dreaming of that better place,
a canticle of One -
while moving thru a human crowd,
dull ache for times long gone.

Surround this ribboned package,
I'll give up all that control -
a lion turning to the Lamb,
bright Paradise in tow.
