[bodytext] => I see a distant figure Looking back at me Telling of things to come Of impending tragedy As I approach him He just moves away Staying the same distance Tomorrow as he was today Cascading dreamlands melt Eating awy the night The shilouette beckens me To follow without fright Keep on moving he tells me Over crags with great care It is safer over here I have so much to share So I start to run At a breakneck speed Past the patient scholars And the waiting steed The figure calls again Hurry dont delay There is so much up here with me Faster faster this I pray Past the gold and past brood With my winged shoes Gracefully across plains This is what I choose Two wise pilars stand tall Slow down they say Look at whats in your pack Live to full each day Yet I chase this shadow man Past the mountains tall Down the other side Amazed he never falls He is always just out of reach He sleeps when i choose to He always seems to match me speed He seems to know all that I do Far behind is all I know Through the forest bare I chased this man for ages I see him start to near Its colder now and he move slow I seem a clearing grow Its hard to breath and move my legs There is something he wishes to show He has stopped and i keep on Finaly I shall see What it is that I must view From the man who beckoned me I appraoch him and he greet me A smile on his face Behind me lies my whole life Forgottn in this race This man looks familiar Someone once I did know Long ago when I stared to run See in the glassed echo He knows Im tired And can run no more He show me a place to lie Deep beneath earths floor As I close my eyes to rest I wonder with thoughts rife Why i chased this man so long Instead of living life [comments] => 1 [counter] => 206 [topic] => 43 [informant] => newguy [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
