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 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
