Stuck in the city of lights
never to escape
Hope is gone
As this world goes in fast forward
I dream of the world I left behind

And the music plays
Why am I so cold,
So scared
I have heard this song before

I start to run
Faster and faster
Untill I slam into something hard
And find what I am looking for

And the music plays
Why am I so cold,
So scared
I have heard this song before

Something shines and shimmers
A sivery metal
And I see myself
What I was looking for all along
And I am no longer afraid

And the music plays
Why am I so warm,
So content
I have heard this song before

And I am lifted away-
from a city of lights
never to return
to the colors
moving so fast-
Like a movie

A beautiful conclusion to a stunning trilogy.  The consistency of the three pieces is very apparent and extremely well thought-through.  I love your choice of last line, "like a movie."  It really brings back the first part...

I see the whole cyclic thing working in the entire trilogy, by the way... as though I could read the first again, after finishing this one.

I love the continuity of these three... you've impressed me quite a bit, Wind.  Thank you for sharing this series with us.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Liz, yes, know you are never alone and within these concreate walls and barb-wired fences there is but a light of hope always gleaming from Him and there is much joy to go around still as well! (sigh) This is very poignant, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Liz, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
