Michel M.J. Shore

This Is The Time of Year To Alter The Course Of History

The fortunes of time

enter the stream of history,

guided by the Master Being.

 

His watchful presence,

dispersed in eternity’s second,

travels like the night that passes into day.

 

To begin anew,

what already was known

but to a few who listened

 

To their inner voices,

knowing what it is

that must be done

 

To alter the course

of history, though

given at birth,

 

If but taken,

rather than removed,

stolen by the mindless presence,

 

Simply because

It did not awake

when there was still time

 

In this life,

to alter that which

could be;

 

If only awareness

of conscience would surrender

to the True Being;

 

Since all else

is but fleeting

in a clouded sky,

 

that disappears

into the shadows

of the night;

 

But to return

in a new life

to begin again,

 

What is left undone,

yet for another

day or era.

 

When it will be known

that man must assume

responsibility for who he is

 

And what he does;

otherwise, he must face

the jurors in another life;

 

To begin anew,

what was already known

but to the few who listened.
