Philosophical

Bewitched the hour 
when bearded strangers swim 
amongst seas of frivolities, 
with plastered smiles, 
remodelled exteriors, 
hiding scars of yesterday 
Maintaining façades 
through blinding skies, 
cascading hope for 
a new tomorrow 
Flickering kaleidoscopes 
of utopian dreams 
Where the impossible is possible, 
if only for tonight 
Where beggars and kings unite, 
as they dance in close proximity, 
to heaven on earth. 
Renewed 
Reborn 
Rejoice 
 
Happy new year ….

Hour of the phoenix
