Behind the Wall

Behind The Wall
acrylic / canvas
Overlooked when the world was happy
in his alcove crooked and fastened shut,
glimpsing a fair minded morning ...
just out of reach and
behind the wall.
Juggling words he couldn't hold them
when they fell with silence to indifferent earth
and fashioned phrase ,
that seamless garment...
just out of reach
and behind the wall.
Cupped in loving hands and nourished
a june bug protected
by a child
he'd see the others smiling, thriving...
just out of reach
and behind the wall.
The stones they hid a beautiful secret
and through the gaps
she could clearly see
the solemn one,
so well adjusted...
but out of reach
and behind the wall.
