Transcend
As the quiet of night slowly ends
And the blue sky's veil lifts
Majestic oak's leaves silhouetted
In and out of sleep drift
Winter wheat golden in the field
Crops rippling in the breeze
Harvesters have gathered to reap
Soon job done with ease
Into a red sunset they ride
Leave the stubble behind
Taking the good usable part
All of its chaff declined
Into life's sunset ride
Come, go along my friend
Leave worldly desires in the aft
To a holy life transcend
Transcend: transform, excel
