Shadow Man
Ever present
Ever running
The lonely phantom
Who walks among us
Running from nothing
Running from all
Just running and running
Towards the unknown
Always moving unseen
Always watching and looking
Lurking and striding
In shadows surrounded
The forlorn spirit
Always here, always watching
My best friend
My only hope
For what comes next
In the world beyond.

The Thief
Light fingered
Swift to run
Quickly grabbing
Your bag your wallet
Whatever you have
Moving fast
Hands quicker than lightning
Ever running always hiding
Waiting for the next mark
A long con a short one
Ponzi schemes galore
Not just a petty thief
A master thief
One who's never been caught
Rich beyond his and your wildest dreams
He loves the gold the jewels
The valuables hiding in your pockets
But what he wants most is something you can't steal
You can't buy, you can only receive
Something as simple as friendship
Just a friend.
The Deck
From Kings and Aces
To Queens and Jacks
All the face cards
In playing Poker
Or maybe just Old Maid
Their all important
Cause they're all necessary
For a straight flush
To win the game
2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
All are needed
All are wanted
The deck is important
But the cards inside are more significant
Shuffle the deck
Memorize the cards
Play the game
And hope
That luck
Is on your side.

As The Music Plays
Quick and light
The music plays
Softly, gently, caressing the air
Faster and faster
The music plays
The air moves the music about
Playfully lightly moving around
As the music plays
Kindly giving us a most magnificent present
The gift of music played by a master
The masters mind is focused on the music
The focus shown through the enchanting song
And as it continues the soul is heard
The soul of the music
The one that belongs to both master and tune
As the music plays
And as understanding dawns
We listen and heed
To the master's stunning success
We finally hear
The music's
True
End
The Puppeteer's Creation
He runs around in the maze
Of his own accord he runs not
But he knows it as does the Puppeteer
The strings are pulled and yanked as necessary
A gentle hand prods it
And it moves at his request
Quickly and lightly it moves at his bidding
His creation obeys at the word
The word of the Master, The Puppeteer, The Heavenly Father
It jumps at his bidding
To do the works assigned
And to move with Him in mind
To do all works in His name
He shall work until he is called back into the Masters hand.
Free runners
We run towards the edge
Slipping and sliding
We run and move
Trying to get over that next fence
Running and jumping
Moving and listening
Jumping while hoping we catch that next ledge
When we fall
The blood spilled frees
Our land bound souls
And sets them free
So that we may run again
Living for the rush
That only comes while leaping towards a building
When we feel our feet hitting the roof
We start running
Towards the next jump
We run free
No limits
No boundaries
We are Free runners
And we run this city.
