Around the Corner

Around The Corner There was an object, with an obstacle just out of reach Perceived only by its glow coming from the other side Waiting for me to show It was similar to a foreign speech covered in bare iron There between a veil of secrecy and a concrete shadow Raised there in perfect crystal clarity A wall, a corner of reality, hungry for exposure to expose the truth To reveal the prize just on the other side I turned the corner there to find yet another wall This one taller than the first The glowing object had moved to that location It was closer now and made a sound that haunted me I could almost smell its energy and taste its power The new wall was well within my reach Around the corner I ran, in fear, bursting into tears The glowing object and all obstacles had disappeared Just around the corner from here Created on 10/11/14 for - Around The Corner- Poetry Contest
