Rain of Brass Petals

I am the first
A shadow at the end
Of the hallway
I spin the carousel
The laughter recedes away
My finger on your lips
I stole something precious

([Now I lay me down to sleepI pray the lord my soul to keepIf I should die ---- my soul to take])

I am the second
Alone in a faceless crowd
A human caught
In monochrome dreams
I scream to wake up
My voice drowns deep underground
Only the dead can hear me,
See me

I am the third
A master
A sentinel of awakeness
I hold truth like a torch,
Shadows flicker before me
Rapid eye follow the
Chain of thought
Until the silence ends
