running





tunnel blackness

running


sorrow unknown

running


taste the future

running


one, with the future

and all it demands


one, with the past

just as you planned


one with the present

you in command

*

fragile intercourse

too soon broken


has taken the life's spark

and returned to the blackness

that which seeks the light



From – Pain is Time
