soul children

 
drifting away, this world is so cold
so I go inside my dreams
creating a place where my imagination can run

Beauty and her monsters
so tender the beasts are
cordial and honorable
they seek honesty above all else

I don't know how I got here in the mortal
devious distraction I've only met a few whose souls are intact
I find the most gorgeous pieces of their beings
just cast aside because people wouldn't get it

so I collected their keys they discarded
and make new beings formed of my thoughts
and what was left behind

these children of scorn are so happy to be dressed so beautifully
with honorable attributes no one wanted
gifted with laughter. honesty and a love for all that is natural
they seek and find their place in the natural world

I'm the keeper of dreams and visions
these are my soul children
they love it here but don't wish to be human
sacrificing everything and though I fear retribution
I guard these darklings who are held together by dreams

a kiss to the soul and they're on their way with a song in their heart
