it seems we are alone.

We build castles and moats brick by brick,

To hide from enemies made of stone.

They are our troubles, fears, witches and ghouls

Surrounding your protection waiting for your false shields to collapse

In your fortress you sit near light-filled pools,

To keep the shadows of the fog away…perhaps.

We invent beliefs to ignore the truth,

We build castles and forts to hide from its ugly face.

We wish for evidence to make it false, we want proof,

To have it vanish without a trace.

But some people walk among the fog so thick

They don’t hide from the truth

For they are heroic.

They don’t build castles or moats

The enemies of stone guard their fictions forever

As the people of the fog travel for hours in their small, little boats

Searching for the truth others have severed.

Unbelieved and different they smile at one another,

Traveling through the truthful fog like sister and brother.
