Water BOM...

Yes, the title is a play on words. Bear with me. I'm in a very strange mood today.

I made the weirdest comment earlier... it was me-ish, but not really. I was at Sue's house; we were watching a movie with a couple of other people, and she had this Brita water filter. I've seen all of these filters before. They're usually not interesting, but this one was. It had this little tiny cap on it so that whenever you poured water, the cap went up, and then back down. I don't know why, but this made my day. Yes, it's odd, but true... (don't judge).

Last post, I wanted to write a poem, and I think I have the perfect topic. I just finished reading the Book of Mormon and it was my first time reading the entire book. I must admit, I can't believe it took me such a long time to read. The most amazing book I've ever read, and I've read some amazing books. There is so much information, so much knowledge, so much strength. So, here's my poem. I hope you like it.

One Book, lying with it pages open to read.
A novel of lives, the
last dying breath of a main character.
The pages are filled with pride, love, sacrifice.

I slowly close the cover. Months pass.
Every day, I open the book and read a passage,
a page, a verse.
Much is read, few resonates, little is truly understood.

The words seem to mock my inability to comprehend them.
Time spins backwards and slows down in the musty pages.
I feel myself being torn away from the problems of this
Life, and finding light through the struggles of others.

Engulfed in war and battle scenes, I am soon
to enjoy the serenity and peace of the pure
Love of Christ. Lives are changed,
whether they lived centuries ago... or today.

There are no secrets kept from the most faithful
of followers. Stay on the path and all
will be revealed, given time. Proceed with faith,
give with hope, care with charity.

Give unto a fellow man, do not engage in
worldly ways. Keep oaths and covenants.
Remain pure. He is the life and the light of the world.
God is good. And all is well.

Let me know what you think... I haven't written like this in a long time, and these are a few of my thoughts. I just thought I'd try a new way of expressing them.
