Tells and Trails of War

All the calamities are meant to quiet noisy minds asking too many questions The signs of angst & friction is an attempt to rub us the wrong way quelling what our minds have to say In these days of endings & beginnings the way forward appears to be shrouded in confusion In a blink of an eye ghosts of the past return with masks in tow as if they fell from the sky Observe the allusion This is more than an illusion as apparitions appear in the form of afterburn but why? Learn from the lingering eeriness that has developed while lines are being drawn to certain conclusions Can you hear me amongst all the confusion or even see what's before your eyes? The truth is written in the skies just under the sun illuminating what has happened before and what is to come I'm seeing visions of faces hiding behind masks in fear of being caught on the wrong side of falling skies Those that can see know why it's so important not to cover your eyes Sometimes you don't see what's coming until after it's come & gone Be wise Know the disguises come in the guise of faces with misplaced emotional expressions These are lessons in a class that many don't know is in session
