ANCIENT DAYS

Ancient of Day

Ancient wisdom of years ago

Tells me where can I find my soul

The ancient wisdom of my mother’s soul

Where in lies the spirit of my soul

Wisdom embedded within my soul

I was hoping you could share with me the feelings of your

MOTHERS WEEPING FOR THEIR CHILDREN

inner soul

Spare me, not the thoughts of thy mind

Please share with me the deepest depth of thy soul

The ancient wisdom of so long ago how didst thy father

Escape the aches of his days?

Relish my soul with the depth of knowledge

Knowledge which richly held thy

Generations together for so many years

Ancient wisdom on which thy people live,

Countless days in which their souls cried out

Speak thou unto me this day

Enlightened mine eyes that I may see

Ancient wisdom perfected by time

Brings me out to the hidden treasures

Treasures secure in the capsules of your mind

Enlarge by the raving of your soul’s desire

Ancient wisdom brings forth the light hidden in darkness

Reveals thou thyself unto me this day

Rescues me now from a lack of wisdom

Impart thy truth that I may find the hidden pathway

Oh yes, the pathway where wisdom is

Perfected daily with age

Ancient wisdom known by the rising sun

Followed by its setting thereof

How can thou not guide me to the land of the unknown?

Taking me to places where the feet of mortal man

Never before has trod, yes to places filled

With power, truth, and knowledge

The ancient wisdom of long ago grants me

Wisdom to see beyond me

Teaching me true gratitude towards fellow men

Allowing understanding for the road you have trodden

Bending beneath the scorching sun

Show us your blueprint of years of

Survival in the harsh desert sun

While the moon embraces your soul at night

The ancient wisdom of long ago departs

Not from me this day
