I am going to hide.
I am going to hide, outside.

I'm just going through the door.
I'm just going through the door, once more.

You see me as a fool.
You see me as a fool, so uncool.

I see you as a beautiful work of art.
We are not so far apart.

"I AM YOUR INDECISION!"
The beast roared, shattering the thin, frail film of a shield with which I had managed to surround myself using the little energy I had remaining. I was terrified. It was too huge -- too tremendous. I could hardly make out what it was due to its enormous complexity. And the worst part was...

It was my own creation. I had taken on too many possibilities and had not decided. I had not decided!
But how could I? They were all so...fantastic! I loved each and every one of those possible outcomes. I loved them until they became a monstrosity. The thought of all those futures -- my futures -- becoming something...something like this... It... It...

Enrages me! It saddens me! It brings searing tears to my eyes because I still love the monster I see before me! The very thing that would devour my mind, body and soul if it could. But I would not let that happen. I am not my possibilities. I am not my past nor my future.

"I AM!"
And with those burning words of power I drew the sword which would sever the beast. From my heart the hilt -- gleaming golden grip with a fiery Phoenix crystal clasped in an iron claw. From my mind the blade -- sharper than obsidian flake and still deeper dark, kris like a slithering serpent. And from my soul the glowing strength to wield this sword and wings to carry me onward.

Forth, I fly.
Decide, I must.
Be cause is why.
Myself, I trust.

I know you know
I would do anything for you.
You know I know
You'd do the same.
Why do we dance around
The fire that's consuming us?
Why do we love to play
This game?

You stop what you are saying
as you stare at me...
You then say, "Well,
what of Humanity?"

My eyes go wide
as I reply, "Why?"
You say back to me,
"Because."

"OH! It's a manatee."

Raaaiiin, raaaiiin,
come and stay.
cleanse my soul
and wash away

Everything
and everyone
I used to know
or do for fun.

Raaaiiin, raaaiiin,
come and stay.
take the bad
and good away.

Instill in me
a sense of peace
so I know what
it means to be.

So I know what it means to just...be...

Memory...
Such a little thing.
You came to us that fateful night,
And I took you home.
I gave you food and water.
I kept you safe and warm.
We spent days together,
But only a few.

We had to part ways.
Forces beyond my control separated us --
Because it had to happen.

I brought you to a place
Where you could be safe
Without me.
They cared for you,
As I knew they would.
I felt good, content with my hopes that
You would find a new home.
Weeks pass...

You weren't on my mind --
Then you were, from nowhere.
A part of you I'd kept with me,
Worn on me... broken.
I knew something had happened.

I left a mindful message for the ones
Caring for you:
Hello, just checking up.
How is he?
How is Mem?
I waited for what I knew would come.

They say your health was waning.
They say you were not alone
When you passed. I trust them.
I feel that if I kept you,
You'd still be here.
It doesn't matter now.

I named you well...

A simple supper
It simmers quite subtly
Sweet and spicy sauce
