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
