I hear, “We won’t”
And fire’s flames arise in me
A ring of fire encircles like the day
Smoke filled my house because I
Forgot to open the flue
And the neighbor came running
Because, thank God, smoke
Goes in every direction
Something’s burning and I don’t think
It’s love
Then again it is exactly love
When lyrics that saved you
Drive a wedge between you
You pray Lord, draw me close to you
Because the house still stands
But the fumes linger
And wills and won’ts aren’t worth
Arguing about when I
Am close to You, and aren’t You
The keeper of the vineyard anyways
Last but not least, here’s our optional prompt for the day. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that is inspired by a piece of music, and that shares its title with that piece of music. Need an example? Here’s A. Van Jordan’s “Que Sera Sera” and Adrian Matejka’s “Soave Sia Il Vento.”
Good reminder that the Lord is the keeper of the vineyard.

Thanks frank. Draw me close to you was written by the pastor of the Vineyard church, and so on and so forth…..long backstory.
