Wisdom burned upon a stage life flashes in the mind and dies

I
Somewhere in heaven a voice cries
Heart dances in the lies but too late
Each is the message of living dies
Burden lives in liberty seeking horizon
Child will travel time in dimension
Slow to reveal and too tired equate transition
Pure as the heavens reaching for salvation
Private war rips the sand of man temptation
II
Ship sales off in the fading light blood red
Words in scripture laid free in battle of soul
Fire and brimstone accompany the pain of death laid
Whilst the time call forth man in raven black on a stand
No bust of Greek death will wait in created dreams
Nor a place at the sea to lay with dead creatures waiting
Salvage all the spirit left to float in the wind Longfellow cries
Opium leads the pain of beauty low across a hunting sun
Many come most run in the view of words written in the soul
III
High on a rock the world is viewed by power in order of precedence
Watch the night escape to be replaced by wonder viewed glitter paid
Each value in greed of seed place in full view death to escape life
Burden of man is the mind left unfiltered no knowledge only read set
Page upon page value goes from child to cattle and exchange transferred
Water and salt in gold and bronze left in pictures stacked in timbers bleeding
Withering bones bleached by earth wind and fire live in memories of life
Poets leave glimpses of image in trapid lifts calling good to evil saved
With no escape who will take the passion and the dream to future
Procreate a life to continue the species why value negligible praise lost
In the image created in the image dust to ash will components be saved?
IV
Seven in the wind of dream all being destroyed by self left to own endeavors
Tears of illusion lost in illuminating light cast across faith in water sinks
Stones polished by the bones and blood of those before marked high praise
All before time lay in cold nothing showed for being here only dreams left
Many the grains of sand in sky measure the pains tried and died in faith
Dirt feeds the worms in the manly creation leaving holes in time played
Passing evaporates in thin air all join in the judging no body is home
Meek take what is left slim pickings fire purified century of souls spent?
