Wisdom Calling

As marinated tenderloin slow sizzles on the grill,
As butter melts on glazed croissants, and crystal goblets fill
With blood red wine; thick seashell cotton cloths are neatly poised
On powdered plates, in time to settle down on laps as noised
Abroad the call to come is echoed from the heights; and all
The simple, honest folk who gladly hear the earnest call
To nobly dine in truth with grace, eschewing silver, gold
And jewel, enter, sit and fill their souls with life untold.
