A Poem by Patrick O'Neil

Can you see, there on the horizon that distant flicker, of a light? Can you hear, the soft voice whisper into the dead of night? Can you feel, the ground, it trembles with great anticipation? For too long, we've waited, hiding in the shadows. Voices mute and dreams forgotten. Now the time to rise, to fight! Take back, the hope concealed by night. In this perfect moment. The day explodes, into the night. Nowhere to hide, no more excuse for now we wake, and now we rise. Can you see it now! That hope and dream we've kept from life. Can you smell and taste it now! That sweet aroma of success, so strong it's on your tongue, it's in your breath. Can you feel it now! A heart that beats, once thought to be dead. Now I see! Now I feel and now, I hear! Inspiration crystal clear.

Thank you.
"Now the time to rise, to fight! Take back, the hope concealed by night." "That sweet aroma of success, so strong it's on your tongue, it's in your breath. " I really enjoyed this!

"That hope and dream we've kept from live. " My only suggestion or question is ... Should it be live or life? Life makes more sense to me although I could be wrong.

Anyways I really enjoyed the inspiration/motivational speaking!

"In this perfect moment.
The day explodes, into the night.
Nowhere to hide, no more excuse
for now we wake, and now we rise.

Can you see it now!
That hope and dream we've kept from live."
