each moment wrought in a myriad of rainbow bliss
but we are not them.
Our dreams are born of word and rhythm
Our hearts are won and lost by rhyme
each word trancending thought and time.
Overcoming the bands of reality
thoughts and images spun like silk
drifting aimlessly through the void
stealing traits from all they pass through
the light of stars and the color of thought
creating a world as old as time

Unstoppable with guns or sharpest of knives,
Practised resilience through all their lives.
Wounds hurt, but wounds do heal,
To get back up with a will of steel.
Every cut becomes easier to bear,
