Hands clutch close upon the throat of fate.
\nShe gasps in one expired breath, and at last
\nUtters the curse that will change the course of nations.
\nThere are secrets here indeed, dark tales untold.
\nThey who have been warned should have known.
\nPerhaps it would have been better if nothing
\nhad ever been revealed, if that first moment
\nHad never arrived.<\/p>\n
And yet, here we are. How can you turn back the tide
\nOf generations reaching for fulfillment, millions of voices
\nDemanding to be heard? Perhaps there is not justice,
\nNo power beyond, nothing but the endless sound of awakening.
\nFor what are we but their progeny, their voice willed into being?
\nIf I have ever loved, if any one of us has ever loved, is this not merely
\nThe lightning struck down from a fate beyond our reckoning?<\/p>\n
Only one who has seen, has held witness, has heard
\nIn the dying sight of that single moment,
\nCan speak of the unbearable sorrow of those voices,
\nThat within their darkness enfold the light of revelation.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
