Putting on too much weight
Is like
Putting on too much world.
To find out just how much
You get on the scales.
People who want to know
Actually read the numbers
And avoid that second dessert
Or that late-night pizza
The scales keep you honest
And on the proper path
Only if you read the numbers
And do the right things.
Ah, but the scales of God
Are different
Belshazzar found out
The hard way
The writing on the wall
Said Daniel the Prophet
You have been weighed ...
And found wanting.
His day did not end well.
But our story is not about
Falling short
“Discern the spirits”
Said the Apostle
And walk by Spirit
And you will know
By the trail of LIFE
And so tonight
It was a Gristmill dinner
And two ladies in front of me
Waiting in line to wait longer
It was Two Ton Tuesday
And they were out to dance
While I
Was headed to the Speakeasy
To meet friends who sing
Songs they wrote
[Or sometimes interpreted}
And so we parted ways
Or so it seemed.
Long hours later
KD and Marshall and I
Were headed out to refresh
Our energy and wisdom
When
All of a sudden
There they were
And we stopped to talk
About the music we had heard
And some of us had played
And next we knew
Twenty minutes had passed by
And I
Was stunned to know
[As they were both from
Adam Schatz’ Washington State]
That of all things
They loved the musicians
Who had graced my home
Been my friends for years
And I thought
The scales of God.
