From time immemorial the lights
guided our way through the
azure landscape
The surety of there apparent
stillness, lead our way
Yet, we abided on a fable that
though peace giving was
false
Our position was troubled,
our place unknown as
The truth became visible
The grand vista, the marvelous
canvas, revealed it’s true nature
before us, a skyscape we
never knew
As we witnessed the change
Standing in awe and wonder
At the spectacle playing out
before our eyes
We understood, for perhaps
the first time
That we lived in a reality
We never really knew, and
The vastness of the deception
That had transpired, to us
Leaving us to a strange sky
Bequeath an even stranger
world
We thought was our home
Yet, in the end was
not.
