Conceived
in the Valley of Armageddon
Wake
up, Children of the Spirit's song! Your fathers' courage braved
the sea in numbers that defy the tale; Dense as locusts cross the
dawn their airborne pact with liberty survived
to sire your Single
Heart. Remember how the sweet descent of Love uprooted you and me
and cast us out upon the field, seeds naked, joyous, free of
fear's propriety?
Do not discount your sojourn to the
depths of soul; Do not forget the flight of wings you rode as One,
millions strong High above the courts and spires that tell the
last five hundred years' enslavement here, your advent seen and
marked by every living thing!
Arise! You have completed
what has intervened, has brought you sleep and respite from
the pain of incapacity: Your children are no longer
babes; Your bondage in the halls of Bacchus is undone in wisdom's
grace; Your parents have surrendered fear of Spirit's Face and
reconciled your youthful hopes in Love's embrace.
Open
your marvelous eyes, Children of the Age! See what you have done:
No more can this world lie yet sleep in confidence, nor can
neighbors turn away without the cost of pleasure's sacrifice.
You
are the messengers who rent the veil of separation's misery; You
were the minstrels dancing round the globe to songs of peace and
harmony; You were the mirrors, multiplying every light, exposing
shadow til all darkness lost its mystery.
You, the agents
of baptism, the promise of eternity, own your legacy! Awaken now
and hear the call that rings within for none but you who made this
Be: Shake off the trappings of your sleeping years; Abandon
every mode of life that lulls you from your destiny!
Rise,
again as One, and bring your harvest in.
