Christopher Hansard:[The Gifts of Dawn and Dusk]

Strong convictions often lead to bad measures

and bad outcomes

if you want to plan a revolution do it in a crowded place

no one will listen to your secrets

if you want to change your heart

transform your being

many will seek to stop you

when one person changes

the light of change is cast upon others

driving out the shadows

the anger of today

is the sadness and shame of yesterday

when change wakes deep within you

be prepared for resistance

when others seek to harm you

act from integrity

then the time will come

when you will have the last word

but if you act from a state of graciousness

there is no need to have the last word

for your detractors will harm themselves

bring love to them

by not acting as they would act

light incense for peace and parity

and learn the art of communication

that non violiently enriches your soul

in the sacred times

of dawn and dusk

see the unspoken way

inscribe itself in the motes of dust and the whirling light

letters form and fade as with its speech

whispering the sacred, listening to the sublime

awakening the profane and the trapped

letters of eternity in the form of things

such are the gifts of dawn and dusk
