‘Beyond The Walls’ by Camilla Valadão

Kindly kept in an alley like a secret
Framed by rustic bricks in a mysterious brown
Almost evoking ancient times to revive

It´s power can be felt with a simple upwards sight
And it´s grandiosity can freeze the eyes
Faster than the cold outside

Suddenly the whole world changes once inside the walls
The bricks that could scrape
Are the same that enclasp in a warm hug
All the cold stays behind

Stairs will lead to a white and wooden maze
The kind that won´t scare
But will make curiosity explode
Pay attention to the whisper that says
Let´s play hide and seek
Ready to get me?
Ready to find me?
Ready to unmask me?

Life is there
Not only in a thousand steps up and down the stairs
Not only in a thousand voices reverberating the aisles
But in each brown brick
In each white wall
Life is there
