Elvis sings a song
I wrote... Yet he sings the words
Better than my words.
It is like angels singing.
I published in a journal---
The journal was called
Something, but on the barcode
The name was misspelled.
A dubious journal that
I had to pay to publish.
The Elvis song was
Like my Hail Britannica
Recording. Some words
Were sung for their lyrical
Flow, differently than the page.
It left some questions
In my mind, whether my work's
Quality were true.
Yet, dreams of music mean I
Feel peace and accomplishment.
It seems Elvis'
Song,---the true meaning had come,---
Is God's word. And my
Paltry poetry is a
Close likeness, but not scripture.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
