dividers mired)
between your reach
(and f r e e d o m ' s flight
containUntilYouPressAgainst
not most with might
and not from fright:
through firmer will
induced by faith
believing walls
will crack and fall
no matter brittle
drear the feel
once choice and inner strength congeal
and when you trust such things be done
you liberate your spirit:
run.
