free fall

there used to be
a wall
strong, impenetrable, continuous, surrounding
no entrance
no exit
trapped
alone

but then she heard
a voice
breaking, bleading, hands reaching
muscles
strength
struggle
freedom

freedom?
then there was
a choice

here
it is safe:
familiar, strong, protected, separate
she places a brick -
brown and rough
mortor -
gray and wet

and yet -
an echo
illusions, delusions, a vision, a voice
sounding
searching
seeking
calling

and so
a step
over the bricks, the mortor, the stone
into the dark
risk
trust
freedom
