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
