Do Not Be Afraid.

Lights on the water
Striking a figure
Made of water
Shimmers in the dark
Staggers to be seen
Out of the lake
Unto the dock
With a stern face
And soft hands
He cuts the air still
Like an approaching storm
Carried through the air
By fireflies to the land
Parking lots and misunderstandings
Street lamps make him amber
Children laughing
In the midst of the night
Makes you hollow
Ghosts of the day
Things this figure can't not understand
Mystery that makes us unsure
Timid
Anxious
What makes us this way?
Do not be afraid
Racing through the woods
Following a dim light
I hear the wolves
And they're howling
For blood in the harvest moon
They are silhouettes carrying the landscape
Moving this figure in a strange way
Like we were on the lake
Up and down the hills
In the fields
Where the mist draws the smoke
Away from the fire in fury
The moon a wicked way
Of showing our true surroundings
Something nervous
About not knowing where we are
Yet it feels like we were there
Some time we cannot remember
A dream without dreaming
Do not be afraid
I can hear the shadows
I can feel the hollow
Wind piercing my skeleton
Through my bones
And out of my face
As I breathe
As I see
Do not be afraid!
Do not be afraid!
