The Cipher
Follow this picture of a cipher
until the paint has set
& dried
They tarred & feathered a
Phoenix rising
and paved the way
for it to rise
They tried to sever golden
wings & many were in
so they could fleece
This only awakened what had
been sleeping
& resurrected the
deceased
May sleeping minds rest in peace
while they decipher
waking dreams
In a world built upon perceptions
things are rarely what
it seems
It's coming apart & loosened seams
expose deception behind
the veil
What's grounded today will
fly tomorrow
as sunken ships emerge
to sail
Their hearts are weighed
on sliding scales
& things can slip
when they are wet
Each act is liquid but all is leveled
so they'll endure what
they beget
There's no regrets while
in the moment
but things are clear
in sights behind
Eyes once covered now see it
clearly
they followed others
leading blind
