To Alter the Course of History- Sonnet for Psalm 12

To Alter the Course of History

Sonnet for Psalm 12

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.
