                                                On  This  Day

    I  stumbled  upon  Her  Ebony  form  in  the  early  mist  of  dawn

                              Years  of  darkness  surrounded  Her

                              A  strange  statue  of  Great  Beauty

                                           Shrouded  in  secrecy

                                           A  complete  mystery

           However,  On  This  Day,  She  was  facing  the  sunrise,

                                     For  the  first  time  in  eons.

                                                  On  This  Day

                                     Change,  Hope  and  Truth  will  hold  hands

                                     To  allow  this  Ancient  Shrine  to  shine  through.

                                                   On  This  Day

                                      This  Ancient  statue  will  awaken

                                      And  become...Alive

                                      I  fell  back  in  awe

                                      Fear  slipping  through  me

                                      Motionless  I  was

                                      As  She  slowly  turned  toward  me

                                      Then  Her  Eyes  lit  up

                                      And  with  a  smile,

                                              On  This  Day,

                                              She  whispered...

                                                    Finally!!
