The World is Lost

The World is Lost

The world is lost; wants me to follow,
It gasps for air and echoes it's hollow.
It pursued the truth thinking He fled,
Following the empty;seeking the dead.

It cannot hear; with a gaping voice,
The process of plunder; the galloping horse!
I found the way; the truth; the light!
And His people of fair delight!

What did He see in the hearts of men?
To offer the chance to begin again?
He suffered the narrow; they track the past,
Plotting the course of freedom at last!

Good write, and nice image with your creation as well. Like it.
Yes, the world is strayed for quite a long time, and hope God's light will guide it to find Home.

The Goddess/God - I think the Powers Above are not of either one of our sex - certainly plans for us to be free, only we need to do the work ourselves. Beautiful write and an inspiration to keep going... Keep the Flame alive

Thank you very much Marion, this is the one that started me up the path of poetry when a professor complimented me, and said I should write more.I thought it was just a simple little poem to help my family reach the truth I had found. So thank you all for seeing more than I could!............Jim

Jim, this is a truly gorgeous poem. There are some fabulous lines in this.Β 

It pursued the truth thinking He fled,
Following the empty;seeking the dead.

And this line is my favourite!

Great lines, fabulous rhyming with meter that is bang on perfect. Truly wonderful x
