The Prophetic Challenge
Tell me of things hidden under the dust of night.
Tell me of hidden things under the dusk of light.
Reveal tomorrow as a play acted upon today.
Tell of the future as if you have played there today.
Unveil the mysteries surrounding creation,
Unravel wonders beyond my intuition.
Lay bare Earth's oldest, darkest secrets,
Awed with knowledge above written writs.
The form of light, the language of brightness,
The sigh of night, the whisper of darkness.
Hoary whiteness that crowns the horizon,
Inky blackness that surrounds Orion.
Tell me of things unknown, not forgotten,
Awe me with knowledge not forbidden
Let me hear of deep speeches long awaited
History in advance, foretold unabated.
