      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alarms sound and I snap awake
my head fills with ideas ready to make
their way into words on a page
they flow freely out of their cage
oh, the worlds I see
distant lands that could never be
waiting to make the journey
from thoughts to a tale to a story

An idea in sight
I start to write
Of ancient fights
and long dark nights
and kids with kites
and wise old knights
that see the plights
of a boy at night
who longs to take flight
away from a fight
with an evil might
that sets its sights
on a world in strife</p>

<p>Of men with hoods
and stolen goods
in an ancient woods
defended by a being
that won&#39;t be seen
until it rains
and all that remains
of the thieves is their screams and the pieces of the recesses that ceases to be.</p>

<p>Of each idea I&#39;m proud
Even if they&#39;re not accepted by the crowd
They can hate them, they&#39;re allowed
but I can&#39;t hear them from the cloud
on which I write, on which I stand
I don&#39;t care if they don&#39;t understand
I said it before: I&#39;m proud
Am I talking too loud?</p>

<p>I can&#39;t get the ideas out fast enough
I can never craft enough
Worlds or stories or tales or times
Legends or fables or scenes or rhymes
They rush out in a torrent of rage
All fighting their own fight to reach the page
Some see the light of day
Others only ever see the grave
How do I choose which make it?  yup!
You guessed it!  I make it up!
These ideas are mine and mine alone
and for that, I shall never atone
For in this world of endless uncertainty
My stories are the one thing you can never take from me</p>
