Conference Talk Poem

Here is my first attempt at a poem based (loosely) on a conference talk titled "Come unto Me with Full Purpose of Heart, and I Shall Heal You" by Elder Patrick Kearon of the seventy during the priesthood session. Also DON'T FORGET TO READ MY OTHER POST titled "STRIKE THAT....REVERSE IT" because I posted this one right after that one, and I think the other one is better reading. So make sure to read both. Ok thanks :)

Dark the night, and I,
Far from the path
Disregard with prideful heart
the warnings of the wise

And soon my apathy turns to fear
tis not a thorn but scorpion
that pricks my wand'ring soul
and leaves me numb, alone.

And crying for the ones I left
I seek their tenderness
for in their arms is mercy found
despite disobedience

The venomous sting of sin
like a scorpion in the dark
will wound a rebellious soul
and poison a wand'ring heart

But turning to the savior
I find solace at his feet
for in His healing love
I recapture joy and peace.
