Stories from history

stories from history

everyone was ready 
for a new situation
a spontaneous feeling 
lit up the room

carrying the weight
for several generations 
nobody noticed it drop
until it went boom 

there were no commentators, 
spectators, speculators,
conspiracists;
everyone was a participant

we all got the lift 
took that risk
and the whole of the 
us was better for it 

stepping into that arena 
with hopes on our tongues
some things can only be 
swallowed temporarily 

we took that circle and pulled it
into four dimensions
until it covered our future
As far as we could see

we could laugh about it later
how scared we were to move
As if we had a choice
who was kidding who

we had found our voices
how sweet was the song
hidden in histories
stolen in books
