Our fears only chase us
in our dreams…
And so we call them nightmares,
beasts of the dark
that gallop along craggy shores
of wasteland with no end…
And us, believing we can’t escape,
not realizing our captivity
lives only in our brilliant minds.
Yet still, we run –
Chasing the freedom we’re running from.
Hoofbeats of shadow
fade into new day’s dawn…
And still,
their thunder
clouds the brazen horizon
of our visions of day.
Our terrors only torture us
from our nightmares.
