Yesterday's Oath
Are you willing to shoulder
the burden that was left
by those no longer heard
To write those things
they never wrote
inspired by their every word
To take that next step
they never took
to reach beyond their grasp
Clearing the way for those unborn
to pick up the mantle
— embracing the past
(The New Room: March, 2024)
