Captured

some moments are mindless insanity with twisted reality he says he says a lot leave pain behind an endless word flow a whale's fountain his face mirrors mine his finger swipes dark dust, blows waves into deep oceans where I drown Hide in dreams he says dream a bull to swim across the ocean he says to the light that hides behind reality I close my eyes to dream his way to mine and reach my hand through the bars, touch his wings his broken legs dance leave dark behind he sings and far away where fingertips can't reach I am heard *** Copyright © Darren White January 12, 2017

Cannot reach, but am heard. The light hiding behind reality. This is powerful stuff. Congratulations, Kai
