Reflecting its neighbours and a welcoming sky,
Symbolic of traders bringing their goods
And sending them out in all directions.
One for the price of two
And hundreds of lives
Lost through jealous rage hell-bent on destruction;
Pulverised as they came down
Emptying itself into Mother Earth
And a crater that's become a Bethesda Pool,
Sealing histories, healing memories,
As the phoenix gets ready for take-off
Into a waiting sky, full of hope
That this will never happen again.
