    To the gathered townsfolk causing such gloom,

Pause for childlike prayer

We watched in amazement.
Her hat was the only clue as to her location.
Shall we touch it? My cousin asked.

the smithy was empty
and the tree near it had fallen
and no one had expected it
the sunken sun had made a stand

Of soothsayer and fortuneteller beware,
False oracles are everywhere.
Predictions of True God’s innermost plan
Comes from the forked tongue of man. 

Keep precious Bible close at hand,
Read often so to understand 
God reveals all in His own time.
Prepare thee now for Life Sublime.

Have to admit, I did kind of admire
The way he had with people and me
He stayed a fortnight, as wise as he could be...
