The Prisoner

A man once lived in silence


In a room without a key


And could never find the words


That would serve to set him free.


He’d pace within the shadows


Of his lonely prison house,


Lacing his fingers through the bars


When no one was about.


 


At times I’d hear him whisper


In the gray half-light of dawn


And glimpse the tortured image


Of the man encased in stone;


But I couldn’t scale the walls


Of that cold, forbidding place


To reach the silent captive


He kept locked behind his face.
