9/9/9 As Dawn Arose



9/9/9
As Dawn Arose
------------
we sat on the sidelines
not realizing that the fire was above
and below
And that the mirrors could transform the reflections
of our existential realities
morphing them into tiny cubist versions
of Vladimir's ghost
On the calling, we catapulted ourselves
into a nearer high
One that could bring us closer to the
illusions we have created of ourselves
And dismember the tide's moon
by pacing our silent breathing with that of
his sisters
We never truly knew what the next light would bring
yet we would be perpetually gone, co-existing
for a better peace
and a more determined dawn
