Rock walls and fences
Boundaries that keep us safe
Oft deny freedom
Tear down the fences
And open wide all those gates
Freedom then returns
~~~^j^~~~
Thanks be to God!!

Please visit recuerda mi corazon for Haiku My Heart. There is always more beautiful words there to enchant and encourage!!!
A wonderful poem. I wonder, do fences keep us in, or keep people out? How about the fences we build around our hearts?
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Words for thought! Thank you!
DeleteThis moved me deeply Cathy. I think fear is the greatest wall of all. Your imagery of opening wide the gates... I can feel my heart open. Bless you for this grace of word and image and I thank God for you. Have a beautiful weekend Cathy!

The ideal. Hard sought. Rarely found.
ReplyDeleteFences and walls are a mixed bag, aren't they? There are good things and not-so-good things about them.
ReplyDeleteFreedom..We can't fence it in, but we need safety. A conundrum for sure.
ReplyDeleteluv the juxtaposition of freedom and boundaries, one to ponder deeply.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday
much love...
