Rescuing Lost Souls
Their dreams were nightmares from the start
which tore their simple lives apart.
The hopes from which our dreams must grow
came from sources they didn’t know.
The false rainbows which they chased
were fables which time has erased.
The search for knowledge, once admired,
made them think that God had expired.
They searched for the truth desperately
while adrift in a godless sea,
and then finally realized
God cannot be personalized.
The gods live on a higher plane
where we find gods and truth again.
