Morning

A muffled sound, alarmed my ears sharpening the senses. My feet found the ground before I could ask, hands risen avoid shadows. I tiptoed my way through the dark corridor anxious to find the door. It was closed, but I could hear feet bouncing on the bars. First placed my hand on the cold knob trying my best to relax. Though the pounding of a heart echoed through my brain. I opened it wide as silently as I could tremble. A dim light escaped filling the small room with a eerie gloom. Her head shot up her eyes widened with unspoken relief. Her hands held towards me in completely vulnerable. She could see me, knew help had come to set her free. Soon released a giggle, no words yet just infantile drivel. The beautiful sound of a magical morning in all daily glory. - as published in 2019 Havik - Las Positas College
