Innocent eyes they looked into mine
Asking if I knew the way to salvation
Wandering aimlessly each one unknowing
Seeking a leader, seeking a grounding
"Are you the one?" They would ask
And I shook my head accordingly
Each one blundering through an aimless life
Which job? Which partner? Which religion please?
Choices all around for them to decide
And still they cannot see
And still they do not know
Innocent eyes gaze to me and tears fill them
"Do you know the way?" They ask.
Lost sheep, abandoned by their shepherd
Crowding in their places of worship just hoping
They want to be saved but they don't know what from
And they want to be enraptured but wait for it to come
I could tell them many things
But to watch them is far more amusing
I do know what they want to be saved from
I held it in my hands and it burned my immortality
I know how to save them yes
But no one would listen to my words so quiet I remain
And from preaching I refrain
And watch them seeking that which I hold
Smiling because I really could have told
A dark night descends round Cathedral walls
And I hold it in my hands, its beauty effervescent
I lay it down for another to find
Buried it is and a treasure map hidden
One day the seekers of salvation will search again
And one day someone will find it
Will they reveal it or will they hide it?
Each person who found it took a little of it
And placed something of their own inside it
As I have taken from it also
And placed within it something of my own
It goes by many names and faces
But only one part is found at a time
Put each peice together and you'll see
What was meant in this place and time
The clues are found in songs and sayings
Like the lines of Humpty Dumpty and his wall
Like stories of Arthur and Gwenevere
And simple folklore tales
I smiled and held it in my hands but my time was brief
Another will find it one day and there will be relief
But before their secret can be understood
It will be hidden again - because it should
Adding your comment:
I think that you have put a lot of time and effort into this because it seems to be a whole complete story instead of just pieces. It did seem kind of sad that you wouldn't share what you understood with others but I guess that is your choice. It does sound interesting though and I think that you have done a good job of expressing yourself. 
great job!
