The Day Has Come! Poem by Paul Andrew Bourne

Each day slowly drifts afoot
pointing, inching, driving
the beginning of a scientific genesis
the creation of a whole new form
which waits with its own set of experiences
for its maturity is a blessing
bestowed not to all
but whose meaning
is a jewel on the crown of faces
making its materialization
a living organism

The day, Oh this day
this day has brought numbness, laughter, amazement to this once my barren land
words lost their meaning of expression
so tear substituted as the author
transcribing the end of an old era
a true humiliation
but this encounter made me
inadequate and complete
for this joy was different
it was now about seeing me anew
then return the tear, each tear
marks a purity
equally splendid like a successful launch of a satellite
because of such input
being so different to its output


Could this bring so much
emotions to ones being?
The feeling was spiritual
I heard the angel sing
sing so melodiously for the first time
It was a new beginning, beginning
just the right medicine for the day
there had to be a fulfiller of wants
for this time cripples: Its cripples all predecessors

The moment, this day
Of all the long list of dreams
This one, this one is special: New
This one has caused thunderous
Surge of emotions gushing
Through these closed veins
"It was never suppose to be"
Never to be!

It was awesome
It was new
I came alight like a Christmas tree
I stood beneath the heavens surprised
Then the angel spoke
"This creation from that your input is a gem, not an err, so hasten not to hide for inexperience."


It was then
Then that I realized what had happened
I saw me stroll the parks
showing, boasting of this my input
I felt a sudden burst of young blood race in me
to place all childish games
I wanted it so desperately; desperately I waited for this day like Noah
I've dreamt of this like Daniel
but today, today!
Today - mine eyes have witnessed the glory of the Lord
for today, ‘The Day Has Come'
