Monk

Scarlet colored skies 
before the bleeding moon 
can rise...

The celestials and their 
shimmering stars,
Hidden by 
dark thickened clouds...

Like so many lives 
covered up by greed 
deciept and lies...

The purest and most honest kind 
have no worldly ties, 
Next to their beating hearts 
Streams of bleeding veins 
No acts of sin shall ever 
cross their minds...

For their presence lies 
Upon the mountain tops 
Where they meditate while 
haunted by Earths 
pain ridden cries...

These souls that lay 
awake in silence,
Beg nor ask for 
nothing more than 
tranquil silence 
from a tortured world.

For these men of 
speechless wisdom 
see beyond 
what's seen by 
mere human eyes.
