Ebb And Flow Sustains

The undertone of a
Ukrainian sky diluted
by the tears
of a rising sun.

A reckless blush divides
the layers of a disrupted
horizon with a tinge
not unlike sanguine fluid
or that of a rancid
blood orange

This new day, dishonored
by a blend of parched
watercolor, or a bad memory
dragging the lurid end of
yesterday into the face
of promise.

Stealing away belief while
putting back the emanation
of a fool's paradise

An ebb and flow sustains
the give and take of darkness
and light as the flourishing
chaos of war unites
with neutrality.
To pause the adversity
allowing the thought of
freedom to quash a
cowardice mind
