eve

written: Jan 19, 2009 I wrote this poem the eve of the inauguration of the 44th president

eve

 

eve -- light hits the dark sky -- a heart beat

a pulse signals dawn to wake and ready for another day

today -- though the collective pulse is faster;

excitement for the moment -- like children

waking on Christmas morn.

 

eve -- his eve ... is quiet, is peaceful, is calm, is serene.

he walks into the dawn with a readied step for his journey

he embraces his purpose.

 

eve -- a quiet, spiritual gift for all

he leads; we follow.

he begins his service; we, we must begin ours.

I like it . It kind of has a historical/heart pounding impact. It kind of takes you pack to a past that is actually not that far away.
