Don't be afraid of

On a hot and windless night
I lay in bed quietly with a bit sad
Looking back on the journey 
A shadow appears bashfully on the catwalk 
As shy as debtors for a grace time hide
I feel odd suddenly about that
It happens for no known reason
...

Or like a criminal carries a shackle
Escorting a soul of exile
The self-torture of 
Suffocating in the dust 
Being stirred up by passers...

Fairly, it represents nothing 
In a world shared less or more 
If equalizing goodwill with goodwill
And evil with evil...

Say it loudly, I'm truly worthy of
Standing between earth and heaven 
And facing by person to person...

Not much time will be left 
For flying Spiritual whiskers in the wind
And singing virtually among the mountains ...
