A brick falls!

Tumultuous uproar of waves and clouds
Tension and anxiety strikes the air
Feathers flattering at double its pace
The bars of the prison wall won’t move
Hands hit against cold iron rods
Fingers clutch
The air is hot
Beads of sweat roll down his face
Bangs his head against cold walls
The heart beating at twice its speed
How to break the spell
How to get out
The rut is killing
Breathing heavily fingers scaling the walls of death
Hope dying
There’s no light
Frantic
Maddening
Limbs give up
No strength left
Crumbles to the floor
Head arched up tugging at his hair
He is lost…


Then
A brick falls!

And light shines through
Breaks up
Like a prism into a burst of colors
On the beaded sweat
Now drying..the heat cooling
Breathe slowing
Hope soaring
Strength anew
For the wall has now shaken!

As the walls crumble
His eyes straining
Through the light
For a loving glance
Awaiting
A warm embrace
Hope soaring
Anxiety anew
A new wall again raises!
