To The Unknown God

To The Unknown God

 

How can this be, when tears fell as rain to quench our thirst?

Countless galaxies shone from starry faces, beheld us at birth

This air we breathed, that loved us enough to stay

Time and all, intelligently designed, stood still to adore, not look away 

 

How can we not know how greater these temples are?

Not made by mere mortal hands, know they'll  someday, decay

Unlike those, wasting away, decorating many lands

Greater is this earthen vessel, that houses a treasured essence 

 

How can those of lesser status be so well-known

Yet, for minds to think, choose, pursue, imagine, suggest

Yet, not fully comprehend the folly of existing, without the essence of living

Still, for a mind given, not acknowledge its authorship

 

How can we not know, above and beyond all, is One

An ever presence, mindful to feed the minutest of creatures

Monuments erected to be covered in dust, where we buried our trust

Oh foolish at heart swimming in vain imaginations that offer no salvation 

 

How can we be touched, awakened to life, also known before our coming forth 

Every night all lay in silence, as watched over by One

Awakened not by roosters, clocks, to face a rising sun

Such affront accentuates the delusions that capture minds
