i built these walls to keep you out-- not to keep you in... i took my falls i learned to shout i did my time, and then i walked the halls of pain and doubt and learned to cry again... i built these walls-- i mill about, trapped within my pin... --dgvarner 4/9/00 "A Poet's life is on written page; a scenario to take the stage--watch..." dgvarner |

The walls that we build to protect us also keep us from enjoying all that there is. This is very good. |

ow How I know this. I built up my walls but it wasn't until some one broke through and found me that I was truely happy and content with my self. WOnderful poem i built these walls to keep you out-- i did my time, and then i walked the halls of pain and doubt and learned to cry again... i built these walls-- trapped "I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments".

"The walls that we build to protect us also keep us from enjoying all that there is" and, "to truly grow we must see the storms." been looking at storms lately...waitin on the sun  dg < !signature--> "A Poet's life is on written page; a scenario to take the stage--watch..." dgvarner [This message has been edited by dgvarner (edited 06-28-2000).] |

This is sad, dgvarner.. "i built these walls to keep you out-- not to keep you in..." I love this piece.. and yes, I agree with the above.. Often the little words mean so much more.. And you surely captured that! ^_^ Lynne "He who knows others is wise; he who knows himself is enlightened." Lao-tsu |
