Poem April 10, 1978 Issue

Escape hatch

Jane Huelster Hanson

You Say
life has closed in on you,
your back is to the wall—
you're a prisoner
with no place to go
at all?

Well, friend,
have you tried prayer?
The door of progress
you thought was nailed shut
will open; the walls of
hate will give way
to Love.

Just step on through!

Jane Huelster Hanson
