Disciple

Disciple

       I close my eyes to pretend
       you are with me
       my hand reaches into the empty place
       where you have not been
       still I feel you are near
     
       I have not stopped looking for you
       this timefull trance suspends me
       in an unforgiving mess of lost intention
       instead of following
       I'm sitting on a wooden bench
       watching time dial around the unmoving center

       the woman behind the glass calls me
       she leads me along a yellow hallway
       little nameplates are blank beside the doors
       one opens    I enter
       two chairs    a small desk
       picture of a waterfall on the wall
       behind where I sit

       it's the second time I've been here
       and the second time I'll leave
       without knowing why I came
       or where I'll go to find you
