A barrier sits between,

A line separating light and shadow,

One can see,

One cannot,

Yet both can hear.

One hears but cannot understand,

The other hears but has given up,

Words are swallowed,

Drowned in the thickness,

Silenced by both light and dark.

Hear the hands against wood,

Like rain on the pavements,

Listen to the echoes,

Demanding to be answered,

But no one answers the falling rain.

Watch as the flicker under the door disappear,

That slice of light fade,

As the voices die,

Wonder where the key to the door lie,

And watch the darkness tell you,

There is none.
