Somewhere stands a vacant, empty building . . .

Sometimes wondering

Seeking out hidden voices

Still trying to hear

Holding out, few choices

Listening closely

Imagination unlocks

Now discovering

Shifting life’s gearbox

Another room calls

Peeling paint covers each thought

Wisdom speaking out

Taking another shot

Draining time’s hourglass

Final hours, dreadful waiting

Still so much to share

Speaking words, dictating

Eager wrecking ball

Setting to flatten each room

Confident voices

Transferring to courtroom
