A Beauty & the Beast Poem:
The Crossing
(About Charles, when he enters the Tunnels in Brothers)
He fears the crossing,
fears the fall…
But most of all,
he fears the fall
that may come
on the other side…
The fall that has always come.
He has been falling all his life.
~ ~ ~
Yet when he looks up,
he sees the face
of empathy,
of acceptance.
He takes a step,
and then another.
He takes a step away from fear,
a step towards hope.
Step by step,
he crosses the Abyss
to the place
of no more falling.
