Why do I suddenly want to play in green slime?

Oh the slippage...

Dreaming
An adventure
That takes you around the world
Or to another galaxy

Dreaming
Of a fantasy world
Full of pink fuzzy bunnies
And purple clouds hanging in the sky

Dreaming
Of having a conversation
With the God of gods
Wrapped in the Goddess's arms

Dreaming
Of what was
Of what will be
A notion your dream is more then a dream

Dreaming
Turned nightmare
Because you watched a zombie movie
Or an end of the world movie right before bed

Dreaming
The possibility of being the hero of your favorite book
Of being the sexy damsel in distress
Or maybe the complete opposite gender roles

Dreaming
Is filled of all sorts of possibilities
So carry your dreams
Into reality and make them come true

Reality is quite frightening
On the news
So horrific
This person murdered
That person wrecked
Is this our lot in life?
To be a horror movie
In the making
But with no real
Happy endings
So very sad
It feels as if
My heart is ripped from my chest
For every terrible
Story I read
Every traumatizing
Picture I see
Be it an animal
Or a person
The loss of life
So very tragic

A part of me
My better half
Making me complete
Holding me together
Tearing me apart
My soulmate
My sparring partner
As a singer once sang
Like looking in a mirror
There is no one other than you
You fill my heart
You fill my soul
As you wrap your arms around me
Cradling me against you
Trying to fall back into you
To become one

I'm really very lucky
the blind man said to me
my hearing is superb
although I cannot see

I'm really very fortunate
the deaf man said to me
although my world is silent
my eyes do wonders see

I could not ask the third man
he could not speak to me
he just pointed to his eyes and ears
so I'd understand you see

The day is filled with sunshine
The night is filled with starshine
The day is warm
With the suns rays beating down on us
The night is chilly
As the darkness is thick over us
During the day many feel safe
Thinking the monsters are hiding from the sun
When night descends
Many fear the monsters in the shadows
This is all an illusion
The sun mask the monsters
So they seem ordinary and friendly
While night shows them for who they truly are
But if you open your eyes and look into the night
You will see that the boogieman
Is there to protect you
And those ominous hands under the bed
There to keep the seemingly nice monsters
The one the sun hides
The human monsters that walk among you
Far far away from you.
So give thanks to the night
And fear the light of day.

Mortality pops up
In the worst places
Reminding us that the young
Are vulnerable
Just as much as the old
But when are we officially old?
Is their a certain age?
Or maybe it is when we realize
That our mortal life
Is fleeting
Even on the best of days
Sitting on the bus
Holding hands with Death
Totally unaware of what is coming
Or maybe 50 or 60 years later
Old and grey
So many regrets
Deaths boney hand
Closing your eyes forever
Why are you waiting
To start living life
You might never have the money
Or the time
To go on that blue oceaned vacation
So stop waiting
Start living
Because Death comes for us all
One day
