When Prophecy Enters History

There comes a moment
when the future ceases to wait.

A moment when that which for centuries
has dwelt within words, visions, dreams, 

and silences crosses the threshold.More

THE OMEN

It was not yet the Event.

It was not yet the Sign.

It was not yet the Dawn.

It was something that came before.More

There came a time
when darkness seemed to descend even into the light.

The cities still shone.
Faceless machines crossed the skies.
Breathless intelligences watched over the world.

And humanity, now capable of reaching almost anywhere,

I saw the world become filled with voices.

So many that man could no longer hear his own.

And for an instant,

No sword is drawn.
No fortress is stormed.
No enemy is hunted.

The sea held its breath.

And upon the Omega Watchtower, only one sentinel remained.More
