Nations assemble
Display
In their multitudes grandeur
Great and small unified in pulse
Bond united
Sentimental expression marks each face
Commonality in diversity
Emphatic posture underlining public statement
Optimism apex
Sound of the national anthem
Saturating the air with beauty limitless
Flag paints irresistible patterns of love
Successive wave
Awe inspiring
~
Instrument modulates in tune
Mark of excellence perfected
Skillful touch
Vocals in harmonious accompaniment
Dialect after another
Complement refined
Eye stares expectantly way above
Petition on target
Reaching out to what lies beneath the finite
Curious admission involuntary
Hope of the nations
Concealed in the mystery of the anthem
There is a chance
A common thread could run beneath
Shared dream
Enigma
Universal
Uniting entities in destiny
At the end of the road
Where there are no walls
And love reigns supreme
In purity of substance
Undefiled
