War Chest Tuesday: Meditation on Building Walls
The September 24, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUSOpen in new Window. is
Meditate and write on this quote: "Sometimes you put walls up not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to break them down." ~Socrates

Stone by stone
my fears constructed
walls to keep you out.

I did not create
a door or gate
to let you inside my life,
but like the tree roots
that penetrate boulders
you patiently
worked each day
to pierce the walls
of my isolation
and let yourself inside.
