Before the New Rising Sun
Before The New Rising Sun
Before the new rising sun,
After night begins its slow fade,
Consider what needs to be done:
Inside this world man has made
Where so many live and die,
As slaves to blinded greed,
While so few ask the why
The millions so hurt and bleed.
Before the loud cock crows,
After its morning call echoes,
Consider to let Love grow:
Inside and outward as it shows
Walk the path that so redeems,
Softer heart and human soul,
Abandon world's greedy schemes
As such dark takes heavy tolls.
Before that red sun sets,
After sweet youth fades away,
Consider what faith begets:
Inside the spirit each day
Enjoy peace that so inspires,
The treasures of Life and Love,
That kindles deep flaming fires
Born from Light from far above.

Rhyme, ( Allow Truth and Light to gift their golden treasures)
Note: This was rewritten from memory of a poem that was among
the hundreds that were stolen from me and burned many decades ago.
The title and some verses came to me but the rest are new.
I am surprised that this poem came to me this morn as if it demanded
that I address its premature demise those many years ago.
