Live in the Light, Dream in the Dark

Run.
Run on
into the darkness,
beyond the light of your own inspiration.
And keep running,
deep into the future,
to where the history of your thoughts
and memories
are but a lighted dot
when you turn to reflect.
And that light grows,
speeding toward you
as though you've broken a law,
and consequences are never far behind.

In that time of deep dark,
living in a world you've never thought
or built with your own passions.
Find those few seconds
and refuse the expanding worry,
but try to settle in and look around
and envision a life
unlike your own.

Once those lights envelop
your life once again,
you'll finally understand
all others
- within.
