17TH CHILD OF AUGUST

17^TH CHILD OF AUGUST

The voices from afar greeted his coming

Born in a day the ether wept

A day the earth needed a blanket

What has been anticipated?

Now is come!

Now is time!

A heart filled with love

A heart, yet so tender

Buried in the gravity of life

With the load of many waters

Still not in fainting creed

The load is loathsome

What man can change providence?

A dreamer who dreams on

Time and places never been

Height and widths never attained

The constancy of his enigmas

The spirit is alive that guides

What has been pronounced?

Who can change?

Yet! Fulfillment is the transition

No rest as the soul inhales this contamination

As the soul is enveloped by two egos

The zeal and power to conquer

The will to survive despite today

The yearning of others’ liberty

To lead in fairness for all colors

The time is come!

What is this Time and Purpose?

What is the birth of the 17^th child of August?

He that fashioned August knows

There is never an empty Moment.
