Legacy of the Night
I dream
Always
Nightmares filling
Each and every hour
Until I wake
They are gripping
Haunting
And always moving
I am on a bus
Or a train
Or a plane
That hurtles from
One place to another
Maybe I know where
Those places are
And maybe I don't
That's the only variable
Sometimes I actually recognize
One of the places from
Another dream I had at
Another time
I still have the road map
Or the flight path
Etched
Upon my mind
Other times I could be
Anywhere
Nowhere
It doesn't matter
There's just the fear
That moves with me
But of what
I can't always say
I think I am still searching
Searching for who I want
To be
And what I want
To say
My nightmares throw me
From one place
To another
In the race to find
Myself
Before it is too late
And I am gone
I would hate
To leave this world
Never having established
My place in it
And having done something
Worthy
To leave behind
