Behind Closed Windows

airing

pry apart your prison heart.  there 

is light at the tunnel entrance, not 

so sure about its end.  you must 

search yourself for that beacon.  let 

your guard down.  you'll survive if 

not your confidence, and that too, 

will be the test of the view.  pry apart

wires, curtains, possessions.  break 

the barrier of insular emotion;  I'll take 

your hand and walk you to sunlight.
