Ancient Wisdom

Within the landscape of a wistful dream Where reality gives way to surreality And things are not as they first seem My mind travelled to a distant land Of desert sand. There I came across the ruins of an ancient city With strangle sculptures like I'd never seen A place unlike I'd never been. A cursing wind and sandstorm Held soft whispers and strange haunting music Unlike I'd ever heard And as I stood under the Warm sins glare I was suddenly aware of a Lady Riding a white stallion With long wild flowing golden hair. Her eyes told me a story Without a single word spoken or heard She told me many secrets and ancient wisdom That set my soul and spirit As free as a bird. The once prosperous city and ancient civilization Was lead to destruction By greed corruption famine and war The likes not seen before. It suddenly dawned on me That the city wasn't ancient at all It was in the future And man's stupidity lead to it's downfall. Man hadn't realized and forgotten Life's simple rules That we should live in harmony With nature and it's creatures Cherishing life and our precious Earth And lived by God's word And what Jesus his son and our saviour did teach us. After all said and done Despite our differences We are all brothers and sisters under the same moon stars and sun We should be more understanding As God intended. and live as one
