I Watch

I can see them walking

Walking through this place of hope

As they walk they learn and they scream

They scream louder and louder filling my head

There will be no end to their suffering

Not here

Not now

The wind is welcoming and warm as my mind travels through the mountains

My conscious at settles slightly as I try to ignore their pleas

Their bones are broken and their bodies are pale but their despair is enough to break me

I watch them cry and yell while I soar through the clouds

They will never find peace

Not here

Not now

This place is a home to many

It is filled with rotting people and bright lights of change

Cruel minds and innocent life

Bright lights are snuffed out and reborn in this place

I fly and I watch because there is nothing else I can do

This place will not be changed by me alone

I refuse to be responsible for this place I did not want

This place is filled with many creations of the deities

Some of these creations are good but some of them

Some of them are cruel

Crueller than a god

They kill

They hunt

Lifeless eyes and merciless hands

Hearts now loveless

Hate unrelenting and pure

I watch as they kill and attack the light

I watch as they destroy all innocence

I watch as they hunt like ravenous wolves

I watch as they spread their disease to all

I can only watch

I weep as I hear the innocence cry

As my tears drop time stops

Soft hands cover my eyes

The voices stop screaming and they stop attacking

Soft voices bring me back

Back to my body

Back to the empty sky

A single tear drops from my eye creating an ocean over the planet

I stop crying and dry my eyes as a boat appears on the planet

A boat the colour of dirt

More and more begin to appear as time's soft hands wrap around my body

Time shields me from those who scream and those who laugh

They may not understand me but they know I am drowning in despair

I watch as Time moves away and the voices lose their rage

Fear fades as the planet is reborn

Coloured lines appear in the shape of a rainbow

They move out of the dirt coloured boats

They despair no longer

All is well
