Gather Round Me Nest

Oh gather these things round me.

Round my room and into boxes marked "new".

The money spent is silly in exuberance and steward-less sinfulness.

Two hundred dollar leather wool boots and Costco matters.

Pregnant and driven with unknown, excited anticipation.

Out with the old and chipped and into the broken boxes goes my MAINE home.

Warm with color, texture and vision.

Lord, forgive this crazy and rash, irresponsible behaviour.

Not enough boxes and not enough money will satiate this hunger and gathering instinct.

Lord, help me and please be graceful towards me until it is the season to sit on these fertile eggs in this near safe, warm home.
