They wonder where it went?
The road so clearly bent and written across the land,
Sandy banks overtook it and made it foreign.
No longer could you see the caravan trails of old,
Sweeping out across the well worn paths of kings.
Things of silk and inscense were no longer of value
A new commodity in the market stalls lined the streets.
The world had moved on.
But fortresses remained, Bastions of oldness, upholders of the good days. Rays of sunlight seldom penetrated through Rose colored windows, coloring with blood. Within the hallowed walls stood the faithful, Holding onto dusty crowns and worn sashes. Storehouses of linens that could no longer Withstand the brilliance of the sun.
Faith told them to hold back the tides But it was fear that had called their bluff. 'How can we influence what we can't define, Refine and put into a box?' they asked. But it was too late, the sands had spoken. A new voice was heard in the wilderness. Wild, passionate, and new in tone. The stones were praising God!
