I Have Built Walls
I have built walls
as tall as towers
not to let the high
tides roll in, but who
can withstand a fierce
storm that can topple
everything except hope?
I watched that storm
battering the shore
and hiding I groped for
a flashlight or candle,
and so terrified by
the crashing waves,
I thought death
was imminent!
I have built walls
to keep the sea water
away: letting hope be
my strenght when
violent storms won't
knock down my last wall!
