i dream i am hunted
for i hunt the hunters
for now they no longer
scare me
i walk as they do
i know them
i understand them
now i expose them
i fight for it is all i care to do
why live for things
which will burn
why fight for things
which mean nothing
why live to die
for another car or promotion
i fight for love
for truth
for life
in my dream
i was hunted
by those i hunt
from a distance
words dissolve fear
and then the knife of light
cuts across the sky
into the hearts of the hunters
they kill with lies
i fight with fire
from the light
to burn holes
in the curtain
to burn holes
in the lies
to burn holes
and set the prisoners free
they feel me now
on the path
walking to them
coming into their space
invading their shadows
taking away their prey
captives set free or unleashed
so they come to me
now the only way they can
haunt my dreams
"you again," i say
as i look the king of lies in the eye
"you can't touch me
not till my time"
i say and run away
they chase me
through buildings
and cities
they lock me in a corner
a hundred stories high
they say, "where are you going to go now"
their eyes full of hate
time to eat
they think
but then i look down and see the space
between the stairs
and i jump and fall down
down
passing them
then i am on the ground
i open my eyes
strange
still alive
i run away
light as can be
"you can't touch me"
then i am at a bridge
they are there again
and i am on the other side
throughout the night
they try all their usual tactics
and each time
i laugh and smile
"you can't have me
you can't touch me
you lost
sorry"
i see the world
the people they control
chained to boxes
and wallets fears and doubts
worries, regrets, guilt and shame
i see them in the city
the city of souls
for i am no longer roaming
only in this space
but in that as well
i look for those lives
who want out
and i go and cut the chains
they see me and try to chase me away
but i know all their little games
so now i walk
my head heavy
staring at the stars
my heart breaks
and falls apart
i feel so alone
for it seems
all the fighters
turned in their gifts
and laid down
to play dead
where are you
i scream to the sky
where are the fighters
where are the others
are they all dead
all hiding
playing dead
under there bed
i struggle to remain
because i feel the sense
i am walking in a world
where i am a ghost
in time
lost between worlds
seeing what others won't see
doing what others fear
i am an alien
i am strange
in a stranger world
where i try to connect
and i connect
and i fuse
soul after soul
i fuse
i long for someone
to find me
and open me
and look inside
and dig
and not just
stare over the surface
of skin
but they avoid those things
leaving me
only to turn
to other worlds
where God
will open me
God looks inside
God speaks to me
through my soul
communication
without soul
is like a being gagged
being silenced
my soul wants to speak
i turn to heaven
over and over again
are there others
why won't they come out
why do they hide
why must the dreamers
cease so easily
to fight
why am i wandering
alone these
streets and i feel so lost
so alone
God
where are you today
i tried
i try
i don't know what to do
but to live
moment by moment
erase me
i don't want to feel
sometimes
cant i just blend
into the sea
into the trees
can't i just make everyone free
can't i just fix the holes
can't i just stop
the death
the destruction
i will stand
between
and take
the blow
over and over
blow by blow
they go through me
though
yet as soon as i take one
there is another
but that is why i fight
for i know
i can fall
and i will fly
i will break
and i will heal
i will die
and be reborn
i will hunger
and i will be feed
i will cry
and i will laugh
i will love
and i will hurt
i will give
and i will be taken
i will be broken
and i will be weak
i will suffer
and i will soar
and in the end
i will stand
and look back
and say
at least
i was alive
for to live
for anything
less than love
is to die
and to die
for love
is to live
and so
when i feel this way
when my heart weighs
more than the sea around me
i go out and stare
at the stars
and dive
and the hunters
hunt me
but i laugh
as i soar
over their arrows
as i die over and over
i fear not death
i fear not life
i fear none of it
i fear only losing sight of truth
so i cling to the string of light
that is strung through my heart
to the sky
to the light
to the truth
and they can kill my body
but never my soul
so i laugh
as i dive
through the buildings
between the cities
and the shadows try
to invavde
but it's too late
the battle is done
or at least for this moment
yet my heart breaks
but it is not stopping
i may ache
but i will keep going
keep working
keep striving
keep living
keep dying
keep flying
keep fighting
keep dreaming
keep believing
love is stronger than death
