Excerpts:


He is the Air I Breathe

He is the air I breath,
but today I nearly drowned.
I was dying inside,
flailing my arms, and
screaming within
because he was ashen,
and cold.
I was terrified, worried
that he wouldn't
be here to remind me to
breathe in and out. And, I
would be left alone
collecting shards
of our dreams as he slipped
away into eternity.

The Wall

Seventy-two glossy black panels, stand baking in the sun,
Stand freezing in the cold,
Stand erect.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, reveal their names,
Reveal their lives,
Reveal my face.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, void of laughter,
Void of merriment,
Void of life.

Seventy-two glossy black panels, change our homes,
Change our minds,
Change our lives.

Seventy-two glossy black panels…

-Susan Elliott

About The Master's Wall :

"HE FIGHTS FOR HIS FREEDOM. SHE FIGHTS FOR HER LIFE. TOGETHER, THEY FIGHT FOR EACH OTHER. 

After watching Roman soldiers drag his parents away to their death, David, a young Hebrew, is sold and enslaved to serve at a villa outside of Rome. As David trains to become a skilled fighter, he works hard to please his master and hopes to earn his freedom. However, an opportunity to escape tempts him with its whispering call. Freedom beckons, but invisible chains hold him captive to the master's granddaughter, an innocent girl with a fiery spirit. David vows to protect Alethea from his master, the murderous patriarch, and contrives a daring plan—sacrifice his own life to save hers."(Amazon)
