Surrounds the man within
The solid doors are locked and barred
No way of getting in

I look up at the cold, stone wall
I want to run away
But when I think of whose inside
I cannot help but stay

I pick and poke around the wall
There are no cracks to see
I check the lock upon the door
But know I’ll need a key

I touch and prod and nudge and push
The wall seems made of lead
Then from up high a rock falls free
And hits me on the head

The wound from being harshly struck
I know it will remain
For now I give up on the wall
One day I’ll try again

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
