Paul the Flower

Walking through the forest,
I realize, there were a yellow wild flower
And a grey Mushroom.
The flower was a thick petal
Chubby and fat, like a maid's skirt.
The mushroom round circled on the head
And curved up, with a brown top and thin stem.
I realized, Paul was like the Flower
So tall, and educated and elegant,
Knowing Epimenides and Homer
And Plato and such.
The other apostles like the mushroom
Short in stature, earthy and inedible.
An educated Pharisee must be chosen 
By God, to bring the religion to its zenith;---
And chosen and elected, a once persecutor of the church.
So also the Holy Spirit can minister through our learning.
