History

The shining spear through eternal years,
A rip through time of countless tears
They saw the spear as it blazed in skies,
And told themselves their empty lies

Some claimed it came from mountains high,
Where clouds obscure from human eyes
Some claimed it existed since beginning of time,
Yet when that is is refused the mind
Still some deny its trail of light
And cup their ears and close their sight

They sang of its flight in ancient songs
And despaired then of sadness long
They traced its flight in paper and stone
For they fear to be forgotten alone

They tried to catch that blaze of light
Or failing they tried to grasp its might
They claimed it flew true in western skies
And ignored its blinding of eastern eyes

Still they tried to catch the light
Or pray it land in distant sight
They waited as they stood from where they toiled
And waited still till their hands are joined

But know not they of the spear divine
For they are trapped in time’s confine
Till man has gone and god has died
The spear flies still in blinding light
