Forgotten Souls

Forgotten Souls

Burning, burning, and scorching deeper, souls not allowed to rest.

Begging for respite.

 

To long have we fallen through the cracks of salvation.

Take my tortured soul.

Let it rest in a place of salvation.

 

Ashes burned a soul not venerable for hallowed ground.

Souls not resting forced to wonder aimlessly around.

 

When the moon is full, and the sun shines bright. Come to me at midnights light.

 

Take me from this place of rest.

Save my soul and the past.

 

Let the light shine on our souls, the ones forgotten, found not worthy by thee.

Persecuted, given no reprieve.

Take my soul and let it breath.

Salvation. The very word conjures up strong religious ideology and beliefs. But what does the word mean in truth ? Essentially, "preservation from harm." Not too dissimilar from the word, "Sanctuary" which is, "a place of refuge or safety."

You remember Logan used the Ankh in Logan's run in the secret catacombs, and him and Jessica ran through the door to only find BOX who was going to kill them as that was his programming.

Not exactly Salvation. But we honestly don't know what awaits us, Ron. Salvation beyond this life ? Perhaps. It could also be one big giant amoeba waiting for us so we become 'one' with the spirit. :7

I thought I was one of the few that knows about the movie Logan's run. Nice comparisen.

[dw817]

Logan's Run is quite well known.

For your entertainment and education, you might look up "Saturn Three" sometime and "Colossus, The Forbin Project." If you're of age, also check out the first robot that makes it with a woman, "Demonseed."

The artificial intelligence in all 3 of these creations is interesting to behold. :) Food for the science-fiction brain.

[dw817]

Robby from Forbidden Planet ? Oh, that's a great classic, one of Chris's favorites.

But I was certain you had already heard of that one. No, I was trying to mention some sleeper sci-fi's you mighta missed.

[ron]

[dw817]

Ron, you'll find I have a BIG background in sci-fi movies, especially the rare classical ones. Dju ever watch the Firebird I posted as that is one of my favorites ?

[ron]

I think I did see it.

[dw817]

You may be surprised by the people you meet Online who are also familiar and have seen rare videos you know. Just curious, have you seen Lathe of Heaven ?

[ron]

No sorry I havent.

[dw817]

That is a rare-beyond-compare science fiction film. It was based on a book. What's especially curious about the movie is that it was produced and directed by KERA. The only movie they ever did ! It's got rockin' special FX too for it's time period and space aliens, you always need that.

You totally gotta see it.

I loved this. An aching soul yearning for more. Definitely felt the emotion and power in the words and timing. Again a lovely work.

[ron]

Thank you so much.

Poor and battered souls who are lost in a living purgatory are those who long to be set free. One may cry out for a reprieve from such misery, but so often, too often their cry for help is ignored, and they continue to suffer. As the sun shines bright, it seems as if the moon is full and only a release from the darkness will allow goodness to defeat the malice in their life!
Well thought out!

[ron]

I wish I could take the credit for being well thought out, but alas it just poured out as water flowing through a stream. I just sit down and it flows out. I cant explaine why. But thank you.

[Blissful Sin]

Absolutely astonishing. Brings tears to my eyes and makes me wonder. Fabulous work yet again!

[ron]
