I Know You Know
Onto this world I know
You know; as night descends
And billions go to sleep, more
Remain awake and witness
The dawning peep.
This morning I saw fire in the sky.
Buildings that prior to unnoticed,
Shone like gold; like beacons
Beaming Temples of the sun!
I know and you know it’s because
Their made of glass but majesty and
Marvel transformed those lonesome
Structures into awesome sepulchres
Energised screaming forth at last!
“Gaze at us you people of this day!
We shine for you so you can later
Say: We’ve never seen the likes
Of this before and never will
A sight impress us more!”
The golden moment passed;
I know you know such
Radiance cannot last but
In my mind the gold still shines
That numinous glare aghast!
