Lost Guidance
James Bartch 1986 (USA)
An ancient force
Sacred and supreme
To unlock from her heart
Modern Man could only dream
Once thought to be his purpose
He no longer reserves this
Though once upon a time
She was thought to be divine
Until She demonstrated a quality
Inherent and part of Her soul
A powerful dual nature
Caused Man to lose control
Labeled a witch!
Burned at the stake!
Little did he know
The consequences were great
Now lonely
Wondering the void
With inner screams of desperation
He yearns for Her heart
And Her forgotten inspiration
