Hands trembling

(Yearning for grasp of
The promise land-a freedom
Long dreamed for.)

Heart beating

(Resembling the harmony
Of marching feet
Awaiting the break of silence.)

Screams

(Singing out like trumpets
Blowing on the seventh-
Break through!)

Silence

(Peace at the final release
Into deliverance...)
