They-lie amongst the green pastures,
Those men of great minds…
Gathering sheep for love’s sake
They only know the light-
…and true darkness is not real to them
They give us their wisdom…
It is to be shared by all-
Who seek truth…For it is the only way-
Since the sunset befalls the night
And the sunrise appears before our very eyes…
We should try to live-only for reason
Betraying not, our own hearts…
For greatness comes from within
Deep, down within the souls…
Of eternity’s passion
Take heed and bring only-
Your shreds of clothing…
It is all that you need…
You were once naked before him
And he is never asking for more…
Than your soul’s true worth…
