Discovered in a cave near the Dead Sea
Book of many books, read and followed
flocks sauntered in the night
wolves in sheep skin stirred some fright.
but holy man was there to save the day!
did religion start that way?

a creature said apple and there was man
some worked six days in another land
devout developed forms and customs
timed events ran through sifted sands
lead people along palm decked routes
early paparazzi followed suit
on authorship of the first plan..who agreed
to the 'rightful'ownership of the key?
but then so many knelt to kiss holy robes
and witnessed stories still unfold...

book of many books hidden away
some eventually reach the light of day
think that what we write is here to stay?
think better...about the Dead Sea scrolls
books of many books disappear I'm told.

These thoughts intrigue the mind. For the treasures that beget treasures, when surely it is the mind of the wanderer that creates reality. I really liked this. ThisDiamond

and there's always something else being unearthed that helps complete a truer picture of the past

It makes you wonder how much the archeologists really know, when everything they find changes their story so much. I enjoyed your poem.

Hey Nan,

How are you doing?That's precisely my point and I used to love history..thinking it was so 'authentic'. Now I can take it from another angle by understanding the motives of the author through the way historical facts are portrayed
