The Last Wall
By Kevin Robey
January 8, 2014

Captive in the grips of the oncoming downpour
He ventures into a scene drawn before him
Found the reasons to continue his current course
Back when he is young, where all dreams begin

Gripping the wheel of his war-torn Cadillac
Not caring if headlights stay on the broken path
Faster and faster the words he’ll never take back
Flashing in seams of imaginary cracks in the math

The rain pelting down on the hood with countless holes
Shot-out memories drain the gleam of the falling sea
Still he ventures through the road that once took his soul
Faith-based leap to this place plagued with uncertainty

Supernatural the way these wheels stay true
No rubber to grab the light between potholes
Still they keep reaching for something new
Speeding on through the darkness in his soul

The gates waiting ahead like teeth from diamond sins
His blood that was spilled over reasons still unknown
No restrain in place to slow his descent within
Faster and faster to where no lights are shown

The fear in his eyes betray his steady, able hands
Never knowing the way through this mile-high wall
His hands that stayed when he lost his final stand
Still shifting their way through his darkest falls

Picking up speed, the wall so tall it fills the sky
Front wheels picking up from the broken ground
Puts the pedal on the floor without asking why
Knowing beyond the walls the truth to be found

Crashing through the wall chaos falls like hail
Sprawling debris from casualties stay behind
Briefly bittersweet thoughts flash to unveil
Headfirst into the wheel by the crashes grand design

Bright lights wake him with blood in his chest
Heartbeat symphonies for the very first time
Bright eyes alive again with no lies to attest
Sun rising high above the crest that it climbed 

Shining in ruins that no longer claim his heart
So he ventures into the streets with no names
Blinding shadows that once tore his soul apart
Back to the light, the road finally his to reclaim

*listening to...*
