First there’s death
And then there’s birth
And then there’s me, the interval
And then there’s life
And then there’s death
And there I am again

See me in the middle realms
Linking lives and souls alike
Fluxing cries and screams are heard
As I scurry through dreams that never were

Most of your eyes will never see
My presence is invisible
The constant variable in never changing mirror-doors
Passing through, just as you turn your head

Hear my cries within the deep of night
Appended to my curse
And as I flee from light, I wonder
What it’s like to be averse

I’m caught in a reality
That hardly seems it’s real to me
Oh tell me, why must freedom be
Restricted to humanity?

But still, I won’t repress my fate
I will not fight, I will not hate
I cannot alter my own state
So I shall force myself to run

Until the world is one

Or until the world is none

Being familiar with almost all of your work, it is difficult for me to have a favorite.
However, this one is definitely on the list.
So good in fact, I think I will invite you to dine with me tonight.   ::smiles::
