Favorite Quote:
The past is a ghost, the future a dream, and all we ever have is now. --Bill Cosby


They were wings to fly on and oceans to freeze over with our imagination

They were our monsters and our weapons and our laughter

Remember the spies around every corner, waiting to claim us

Remember the beasts in the court yard, and remember that some of us became them

Nothing would ever change

We were stuck in a living dream from which no one would seek to escape

Yet we did

We forever challenged the barriers of sleep and sanity

We forged our own world, our own realm within the dream, all ours for the taking

So carelessly put together that it only took one thread to unravel the fabric of our time

They were towers, now crumbling and rivers now crusted in salt

We woke up amongst strangers and lived as such

Those days of dreams still call out, when nothing could ever touch us and the past did not matter

We know that those who leave can never return, and so we begin again

We build the walls for a new home

Never again so separate from the world, but always fighting against it

That is our nature

Never again shall we fall so deeply asleep, but we will forever dream
