someone calls me from afar. such a sweet melody, so familiar. it’s embracing me, it seems. scent of freedom, clear and cloudless. my rescue within earshot. closer and closer I get, it pulls me. as I reach out, truth is fading, perception reborn, conscience draining. in this streaming black I can’t see the ground. I step into the river, flowing far beyond imagination. guide me to the open sea and show me the place where the sky swallows my horizon. I trust in you. I depend on you. I will follow you. It’s never been different.
