Spirit, life and God

Wandering heither and thither,
For truth, labor
And aye wisdom
But these qualities hath not be found
Because these hath vapoured
In the thin wind
O’ thou who made est our souls of thy blood and hair
Hath a look beyond your world of peace, pleasure and practice

To the world which lies beneath thy holy foot
Like a mite beneath a stone
O Mighty! Thy wisdom does awe the world
Hath mercy on thy children
Who wonder for peace, justice and love
And yield them the power to make heaven’s bride
A place better to liveth.

Author's Note

This is one of the songs of our band penned by our wonderful Keyboardist.

Seems to have a hint of Shakespeare in it.

To the world which lies beneath thy holy foot
Like a mite beneath a stone
O Mighty! Thy wisdom does awe the world
Hath mercy on thy children
Who wonder for peace, justice and love
And yield them the power to make heaven's bride
A place better to liveth.

I would think it would be difficult to write this way for the average person. And for that, I say-Kudos on the write! Carole

I like it. A quest for something better. Tell the keyboardist it is well done.

This is a great piece of poetry you have here!
But I do wonder, it must be very hard to compose a music for this and to get it turned into a song...Because It doesn't have an element of any song lyric and that I could say because as even you know very well that I have already written quite some songs and it is one of my strongest genre.
Now, coming to your poetry...
It is really a very very deep and thoughtful piece of writing... Your words are full of wisdom and describing true essence of what life is all about..
I felt so good after reading this piece of writing!

"O Mighty! Thy wisdom does awe the world
Hath mercy on thy children
Who wonder for peace, justice and love
And yield them the power to make heaven's bride
A place better to liveth. " - These lines for me out stands the entire write and I found them the most strong section of the entire writing, but you know it sounds like as if you are praying to god for mercy and peace which is very much different from the first section and also from the title itself - "Spirit", As these closing lines are not at all getting well with it!

So, overall..it's a very complexed piece of writing, which I liked a lot..
Great work and keep writing! :)
