The Wall Around My Heart Crumbles
The wall around my heart
Slowly began to crumble
Like the Berlin Wall
Of my ancestry.
I kept my steady pace
Upon the rusty leaf strewn dike
Letting the scents of autumn
Linger upon me.
As the flooded cranberry fields
Came into view
Surrounding the out buildings
Like a miniature lake,
The canada geese glide swiftly
Upon its mirror image.
I began to love myself
As the devine being I am,
To open my heart
To the love within me
Surrounded by light,
Autumn colours and scents,
And the beauty of nature around me.
