You Remember

CIMG4365 - Copy - Copy

a thousand fields stones to build this house

boulders seal the doors and the walls are built high

yet light filters through the unavoidable cracks

even cement stucco crumbles with time.

you, you have grown careless,

so not every crack is mended

foolishly thinking that perhaps

the moon light could be good

so you chisel at the splinters of light

slipping moon beams into your house

then the roof comes down

the boulders crush you

bloody and broken you remember

oh yes, too late, you remember,

you remember why you built the walls so high.

  2. Yes we do remember why we placed those walls for sure. Sometimes walls are not a bad thing they mean safety from within. Other times they can mean restraint but in my case I think I thought I was restrained and I was but then I got outside my walls and OMG I wanted to hop right back behind them. It’s a scary world out there for sure! I must have forgotten my armor that day! 😀 I love this and your purple sky is magnificent. I love purple. Isn’t that sky amazing!!!! Just like you!

            1. That’s it! I’m getting me a white flag! Love you, loved you checking on me. Didn’t mean to worry you. You were vibing me for sure. I had a rough few days. Can’t rain every day, right?

              1. I was just making sure you were ok! I think it cannot rain everyday! Tomorrow will be better I think! We are supposed to dance in the rain but somehow that is never my reaction! Maybe I should practice my dancing skills. 😄
