Precisely – 9 minutes before the beginning of time
I had 2 visions [that] existence was about to be mine
The first of these of 12 deciduous trees whispering wisdom
In 24 different dialects to 4 small children
No expression on 1 little girl’s face as she was lifted
Unassisted – then blistered when hit with the triple 6’s
All physics dissipated like 1 became none
Blind faith struck the remaining 3 as they gazed at the sun
Then 1 hand raised to voice a unanimous decision
We agree to trade faith for 3 eyes with vision
Motionless stood the 12 trees – unmoved by the breeze
As gravity defeated the deity – submerged it into the sea
As darkness fell I saw the single cell split into 2
Death of the Old World brought forth birth of the New
Rapid rotation of 72 constellations around the moon
The Sun God will be back soon
Then 36 trumpets ordered the opening of the gate
2 guards led the way – they followed by 8
The unified trinity calculated their escape
Then the son identified 1 fatal mistake – wait
Scaled 96 feet steep atop the watchtower
19 to the second power – one minute past the 6th hour
The son fell to his knees and at last he was pleased
To discover the trees symmetrically spaced 30 degrees singin’…

At the closing of the first, an angel began a verse – poetic
My second vision; designed for comprehension – still prophetic
Of a king immersed in gold – of a queen draped in purple
The queen produced 4 quadrants, which formed a perfect circle
The king removed his hands and placed them face-down in the center
One divided the spring from fall; the other summer from winter
The king removed his arms to submit to the struggle for power
The arms rejoined with the hands of time and created the magnificent hour
In succession came 11 – all to the beat of the king’s own heart
Time did pass and everyone forgot where it did start
Now total control over his people he holds with this decree
(T)he (I)nner (M)ind’s (E)ye – organized at the rate of the multiple 3
3 ticks… before the sheep fell in it
3 ticks ticked 19 more times and the sheep were trapped in a minute
3 X 5 doubled in size, but the quad still held 15
3 X 10 beckoned ordinary men to the throne of the king
3 X 10 again and again – in all it was 48 tries
Then the crescent moon bowed gracefully to permit the sun to rise
The crescent moon bowed gracefully to permit the sun to rise
The crescent moon bowed gracefully and the sun took over the skies singin’…
