Juneteenth forever
Harmony Unveiled: Juneteenth’s Sonnet of Triumph and Unity
In the golden haze of summer’s embrace,
A tale of freedom emerges, seeking its place,
Whispers of struggle, echoes of pain,
On this sacred day, Juneteenth’s refrain.
From the cotton fields where spirits were bound,
A symphony of voices lost and found,
Through the shackles that tarnished a nation’s pride,
A glimmer of hope, no longer denied.
Emancipation’s promise, an elusive dream,
As chains clung tightly, stifling the gleam,
But on this juncture, history’s decree,
Unfurls the banner of liberation, finally set free.
From Galveston’s shores, the tidings cascaded,
The news of freedom, long-awaited,
An exultant current through souls did flow,
Igniting hearts with a fervent glow.
Across the land, a jubilant swell,
A proclamation of equality, a story to tell,
Yet the wounds run deep, the scars still bleed,
Reminders of the struggle, the fight we need.
Juneteenth, a tribute to those who endured,
Their spirits resilient, their hearts assured,
For in their suffering, a fire did ignite,
A quest for justice, a relentless fight.
Today we gather, hand in hand,
To honor the past, United we stand,
We remember the struggles, the heroes unsung,
Their strength, their resilience, forever young.
Through art and music, the voices ring,
A celebration of freedom, let it sing,
May love and unity be our guiding light,
On this Juneteenth, and every night.
So let us rise, with hearts ablaze,
In remembrance of those historic days,
May the echoes of Juneteenth forever resound,
In a world where true freedom is truly found.
