Awakening Greatness

A call to greatness

By Maud Agyemang-Gyau Published about a year ago 1 min read

Out of the bowels of every great man,
Flows rivers of living water,
This water gives life to every dead thing it encounters,
In his bones are endless flames of fire shut up,
A consuming fire that refines everything in its path,
Water and fire,
A seemingly odd pair,
But these are the things that dwell inside the great,
A burning desire to be a difference,
Yet a calm flow that awakens from death,
Greatness is calling,
Whose primary requirement is communion with a higher being,
An intimate relationship that lasts from age to age,
Its fruits impacting many generations,
Journeying from north to south and east to west,
Until all are refined and become one with greatness
