seen .. unseen

searching .. locating

helping .. destroying

family .. friends .. enemies

yours .. mine

they appear .. then vanish

into the sun of day

into the dark of night

observe .. listen closely

hear their voices speak

some say it's merely their conscience

people follow .. obeying spirits they know

most people follow .. obeying unknown spirits

doing things .. they've no idea

playing the ultimate life game

with their very souls

I cling to an invisibly, thin boundary line

unannounced dead center of both worlds

humans frantic .. erratic .. on both sides

many are unknowingly blind .. deaf

can't see .. can't hear the others

soon a day is coming .. unbeknownst to most

people continue demanding .. pushing .. rushing

many quickly turn away .. convinced they're still alive

disillusioned, they'll never see sun .. moon .. sky .. stars .. again

exterior cages disappear in an instant .. into the thinnest air

most will never breathe .. another sweet breath of life

angels .. spirits .. demons .. freely roam mother earth
