Under the Grey Sky

"I feel like running" she said,
But the weeping water below her words
Said more

"Follow me" she whispered,
Her breath is wet now,
And with a desperate bounding run
She's gone.

He follows, just like she asked.
---------------------------------------

An audience surrounds me,
Blurred not by tears but irrelevance
in this grey little scene.

They're unsure of what has happened,
The maybes, the worries, the hopefullys;
They're unsure
and I wish I could join them.
-----------------------------------------

I take a step towards the runaway girl,
Alas, I can but walk.
It seems she did not run,
She moved.

I take a step towards the runaway girl,
The distance between us is roads
but it should be worlds.

I feel like running" she said,

But the weeping water below her words

Said more



"Follow me" she whispered,

Her breath is wet now,

And with a desperate bounding run

She's gone.

This rhymes. The rest doesn't. Why?

He follows, [s]just like she asked.[/s]

I think 'He follows' works better.

They're unsure of what has happened,

The maybes, the worries, the hopefullys;

They're unsure

and I wish I could join them.

If they are irrelevant, why is a whole stanza dedicated to their feelings?

I thought this was interesting and I think I got the point of it, though I could be wrong. It should be a little clearer I think as it was a bit obscure, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
