The Last Wall

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...* ["Penetration" by Pedro the Lion]
