Lost In the Mist

A storm has come and as the waves;
Crash against a wall built to defend;
In the sea of life; so too has love once again;
Been held back

oh sorry and not to get lengthy but the "wall" is the symbol that defends me from myself (smile)

For the commenter s with questions Since there seems to be some question regarding love and defending; or which is which and such. Love can often in it’s turbulence become a force to defend against. To my best guess I’d have to describe the sea as the love I have for another and the waves are a continuous on slot of destruction and yes love sometimes must be defended against

Great analogy, using a wall to describe the bottled-up feelings of love. Very intriguing!

Good day Leonard. This is something to ponder, for walls are painstakenly built up, and not so easily breached. Beautifully penned, Leonard. A touchy subject you've handled with velvet gloves. Wishing you and yours the best! Mikki

Then what is love? is it the wall, or is it the wave? Go forth for in my love is peace, friend.
