Behind the Wall

Willfully erected..obstructing..
    emotional velocity halted..
Armor.. imprisoning..
    safe and secure.. spiritless..
Layers of pain.. eclipse 
    and enclose..restricting ..
Languish not behind the wall..
    surrender to the magnitude of emotion..
Escape the enchantment of safety..
    passions unleashed.. fireworks erupting
Delight in the wonder of Love..
    thrill to the sensations of life!
    ~ rejoice as the bricks tumble..
    ~ shout as the wall falls....

How wonderful it is to see those willfully erected walls crumble to let love inside. Yes, rejoice, shout, do cartwheels! This is the greatest we can hope to achieve in life, Patricia, and a celebration is in order. Love, Carolyn
