I’m older now and know walls have arms and legs and the stroke of midnight their time to move and grow. They’re closing in on love breathing in the air I need but sly and sneaky, slow, no one else knows this is so until the postman knocks and the door stays firmly locked. But come the morn the walls recede with all due grace and appear pure and innocent like a child born yesterday. Tonight I sit enthralled captivated by movement but I should be so lucky to escape the wrath of life simply sitting waiting for those mean and hungry walls to pounce and mingle blood with the likes of bricks and mortar. Walls are merely walls; who says they move at all except the one who suffocates yet lives to see the dawn! |

Helen Instead of looking at it as a bad thing, consider that you have a gift, to see things that most can't. I'll bet you see some wonderful things too. Like the hearts in the stars beating maybe, after the walls turn to air and let you outside.  |

Thank you so much for that, Martie. Yes, I do see some wonderful things but if it's a gift, it's not discriminating and therefore allows sight of the bad as well. There's too much bad in the world and I'm tired. No wonder I suppose because it's 3.00am here now. |
