Wish Not

spoken words speak no more lies fall beneath me complexes of the mind break into cubes working the body endlessly close my restless being fully awake i am or once was fingertips grasp at a fading figure miles away over the hill the water rises eyes peer through me over the waterfalls ahead running faster and faster and still I stay running in place his voice calls my name and it falls as a whisper as I turned my head to learn direction lost i scream the sky falls dark he is at a distance i cannot reach help he pulls me from his soul
