he called out
no one heard
no one
came to the disturbance

searching the fields
wading through waters
waiting impatiently
no answers were found

compounding his misery
the sun set
the moon rose
and he stood
as time slipped away
and died
at his feet

he called out
to the universe

show me the way
answer my prayers
send me a sign
so that i may find
my path
and what i need to succeed

forgetting to look inside
where his own wisdom dwell
forgetting that there is
no magic spell

he called out
