I sunder the barriers
Of my confinement
Rise through the debris
Of my former prison
Grow roots in the sands
Which once shifted beneath me
And in the open air of freedom
Stretch beyond capacities
I could not imagine

Revealing the Wall
When you pulled the ground
Out from under me
Why were you surprised
It left a wall you could not climb
Out from under me
Why were you surprised
It left a wall you could not climb
The Walls I Erect
The walls I erect
To protect myself from others
Define me
To protect myself from others
Define me
After a while
All anyone sees of me
Is the walls
After a while
All that is left of me
Is the walls
Frontiers ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #10
Sometimes I step into a place
So expansive
It fills me up
So expansive
It fills me up
I see my own boundaries
Are merely frontiers
To be explored
Beyond here, there be dragons
The difference
Between a boundary
And a frontier
Is a trick of the mind
Between a boundary
And a frontier
Is a trick of the mind
Every wall falls
Eventually
Every wall falls
Or is breached
Or otherwise defeated
Every wall falls
Or is breached
Or otherwise defeated
Time crumbles their mortar
Context shifts their efficacy
Or a new technology
Renders them impotent
The Great Walls
There are beauties and ugliness
In this world
Beyond my ken; beyond my perception
As if protected by an impenetrable wall
In this world
Beyond my ken; beyond my perception
As if protected by an impenetrable wall
Walls and Boundaries
We think we build walls
Because we are human
But all living things
Build walls
Because we are human
But all living things
Build walls
And so we believe ourselves conscious
When every pattern we create
Has already been created
In our unconscious
I think I erect boundaries
To protect myself from what’s not me
But my boundaries
Enclose me
And so I define myself
Not by what is me
But by what is not me
Leaving no other possibility
