At the end of a road, in the middle of nowhere
With thatch roofing and stone walls
It sat undisturbed
Echos of the dead
from long ago
surrounded the grounds
Yet there it sat, undisturbed..
Through war, death and plagues
Famine and strife
Unrelenting and unforgiving
It sat, undisturbed
In the early morning light
When the sun shone from heaven
Upon the gates that lead
To the one true place of peace
It still sat undisturbed
And when blood spilled upon the grounds
and life was taken in an instant
Where babies cried out for their lost fathers
and mothers mourned their lovers
It sat undisturbed
Years went by,
The roof leaked, the walls cracked
Yet it still sat
Waiting for the day
That people would once again flock
To praise the almighty one
Giving thanks
For life
laughter and love
There it sat, undisturbed and waiting!
