Day 4: M

Happy Birthday, Dr. Maya Angelou!

To hold destiny in the palm of my hands
To peep thru Divinity's eyes and see tomorrow
As the curtain unfolds to reveal the Promised Land.
To perch on the edge of sorrow
To look up and smile with the balls of a hero
To win the battle before a slug is shot
To seize the spoils of war
Without drawing a single weapon
Because I am the possible;
I am the miraculous.

To stare calamity in the face and have no fear
To approach perplexity like I don't give a care
To look pain in the eyeballs like you have no idea
To override fate
To stonewall the inevitable
And right here in this place
To beam my bat signal and bring the sun rays
To dispel repression and give gusto to the rubble.
Because I am the possible;
I am the miraculous.

To erect from shifting sand eternal palaces
To shoot like a comet and witness the rebirth of galaxies
To prosper in the pits of destruction
To indulge all misery as life's instruction
To deduct the lessons in a fool's paradise.
To triumph despite the majority's cowardice.
To bow down to no man's opinion
To rise still as the champ of a million
Because I am the possible;
I am the miraculous.
