Harbinger

Let the bells ring loud, ring clear
Heralding the crimson news.
Headlines speak in bold reviews
Announcing your arrival.

Flower petals pave the way,
Their luscious fragrance to allay
The subtle fears that fill your ears
And threaten your survival.

Be it known throughout the land
That tolerance has met its match,
Opened doors, removed the latch
That held it fast so long.

Free the light so it may shine
In places it has never been,
Set it free to sing again
And right unending wrongs.

You are just the harbinger
Searching, seeking out the truth;
All the lost imaginings
Forgotten in your youth.
