Fifty Prayers Are Burning


Isn’t it ironic

On the last night observing

Climbing towers

To capture a glimpse of future

Crumbled walls

Finding silence

In the rubble

It is fuzzy how it will come together

The sparks of progress falling

Enough light to see
just enough

Is this the reason I am drawn to the dark

Standing in ruins
looking through broken cages

No words to describe the simultaneous observing

Like painting the creation of skin

Or painting in the air

Though it is foggy

It is clear
the forming from within

Fifty prayers are burning

I am screaming

A circle is drawn

A door is opened

The towers of progress are connecting

Two lines are converging
