| Sublime Rennaisance... In The Shifting Sands Of Time The East disregarded the powerful rays of Her rising Sun, While West was still writhing in her Twilight� Magnified desires, Lusts, Distractions Strident against the lingering echoes of Jesus and Moses, Humans were busy sacrificing Their depths Busy adorning empty vessels With slumbering souls and Eclipsed eyes Who unveiled you at a time when Your light was the earth�s much needed Respite? Humbled by poignant grounds Of orphanage, Distressed by humanity�s plight The universe nurtured your compassion In truth you learnt to walk upright Your countenance was the earth�s Sole delight Your penetrating vision, heaven�s Unsullied sight Who gave you the keys to unlock Enchanting Mysteries carefully Guarded by The spirit of the night? How much you sacrificed coaxing Man to adore, How the sacred you manifested Emanating sparks from your very Pores On the firmness of your back The Oneness of truth you restored Within the expansiveness of your chest Resonated universal songs Inspiring generations upon generations To Reality to bow In reverence and awe Humanity�s soul heaved and rose A civilization of light From darkness reborn The East is blinded by the powerful rays Of her rising sun To the west she turns And relearns how fast her Noble Spirit she can outrun Clinging to fragments and structures Words and symbols Humanity is once again busy So busy In the depths of darkness Adorning empty vessels With slumbering souls And Eclipsed eyes The earth is weeping sublime Revolutions, Reaching for the sun She is yearning Higher illuminations� Above the din of madness The imperceptible Universe is Steadily igniting resurrections Into the Souls of the wise �From the mesmerizing grounds Of pathetic demise Arise Defiant Spirit�Arise!� -Maliha Balala |
