I sought your radiant face in sacred places
Where scripted prayers and ancient chants
Kept filling stifled air with emptiness
Pews filled with people in a trance
Blind eyes of the self-appeased
Stared at lifeless paintings on the walls
On deaf ears fell the loud recount
Of unspoken words from your lips
I searched for your face in relations
Where lonely souls seek solace in embrace
Letting aching hearts select the track
Not knowing that the road leads to no place
I sought your face among the mindless crowd
Marching to execute our mind and soul
Drowning pain in deafening dissonance
Indifferent to journey and to stance
I sought your face in comforts of my home
Among books that litter empty space
Reflecting on what really means to be
Believing search for meaning is the key
In the chilling darkness of the night
I drank from the cup of deep despair
Oblivion joined the future to the past
All volition stripped was from my mind
I closed my eyes
Maybe I was still yearning for your Grace
I saw the blood that kept on
Streaming down your tortured face
