Walled

Confined behind walls,

Sealed in by stress.

We become narrow-minded,

Petty-

And full of regret.

…

A conceited sense of control…

The roof is within our reach,

But the sky is not.

You can switch on a light,

But not a sunset.

…

Foolishly we attempt to please,

Everyone in our walled world.

Disdaining the waves,

That humbly kiss our feet.

…

No footprints form,

On the hard concrete floors.

We forget where we came from,

And to Whom we must

Retreat.

…

Step out of the walls,

And surrender yourself.

Before the waves of your life,

Break upon the shores

Of death.

…
