I found in the dwindling light
Shadows drawing close
Movement quiet
Beyond the light
A soft whisper
Inaudible
More a thought than a word
Turn away
Don’t give it form
But it’s there again
A soft whisper
In shadows long
Flicker, movement
Turn
Walk on
Walk on
Do not give it form
It has not substance
No real thing
Now it's a voice
Almost clear
Almost real
The light is almost gone
And I
I am far from home.
A whisper sweet in my ear
Breathing heavy and damp
The voice clear
Thought turned to substance
A dark truth clear
I turn from home
My steps heavy and slow on an unclear path
Away from the future towards the dark
Turning from the path home
Not really a choice
More a need
A throbbing aching desire unleashed
Uncorked
And I am far from home.
