What have you seen?
What is your view?
Is your eye lean?
Or turned to new?

I have read
that what is
true
and real
and just
is good.
(Have I descried aright
and have rightly understood?)
That one's house
rests upon
rock,
sand,
or leviathan.
That a seed
bears glad fruit
in good ground
warmed by the sun.
That treasures
carnal
rust and decay
or are thieved
out.
That a soul's
chosen course
equips
for resolve
or doubt.
That all tares
and ripe wheat
yield
to the Gatherer's
tools.
And we choose
threshing
or sifting
mid the wise
or fools.
