Did you tell the tumble
of spoken words so humble

from centered spirit
we seek the merit

in all the thoughts we mumble

when walls fall down
by windswept sound

in heaps of ruin, crumbled

we seek the faith
by which we make

in all the tasks we've bumbled

the fool's not wrong
in singing songs

of all his feelings jumbled

with whispered breath
and careful steps

fumble through works of Trumbull.
In all endeavors, you aspire
choose your weapon
become the squire

search and all ye will, shall find
some words are his
and some are thine

stories tell with rapture define
treasures herald in rhyme
and time

in perfect strokes
he did divine
this painter-poet
and friend of mind

(hint: John Trumbull)

for example...

"Thus might I still these thoughts pursue,
The counsel wise, and good, and true,
In rhymes well meant and serious lay,
While through the verse in sad array,
Grave truths in moral garb succeed:
Yet who would mend, for who would read?"
