Joseph Smith

Building towns out of nowhere and churches that live with testimony You can't get what you want but you made the word of God breathe in the desert like a living rose and you were the medicine that became the medicine man Who met the lord. Looking out upon the face of a golden dream. Do you remember the stick game, Joseph? You were strong and bright. You were a mystic the melancholy passage of time could not dim Though in the end. It tried. When you were young you used magic stones to find treasure for farmers on their land I am not sure but I think you knew that each year there is a silent day the anniversary of your own death I think you could feel it I think you could feel alot of things You knew that one day The men will come with faces painted black Kids with guns come to end your life. An inside job. A requiem for a dream The Book of Abraham And a prayer of Breathing In the afterlife Do you see the Rosetta stone standin...

To Keep Going

In my mind I hold a dream that keeps me going It was you. Again. I don't always dream of you. But when I do, it's a trip. You and I were in a hallway in a place that felt like royalty you were dressed in gold lame And I walked passed you slowly a long hall of many doors And as I passed you I turned to you and said. You are beautiful. I took a few steps more. I said. You know this is true. Because I said it to you.
