Of Walls and Wells

Walls too high, above the grasses I see Walls above my eye, below the world of me Fencing my eye, lions of grey roaring Reaching the sky, birds of prey soaring. Walls of lamentation are memories of war Galls of incantation are cairns in jar Facing the wailing walls are men of tears Groping for simping halls are women of fears. Walls of life, memories in time Walks of life, melodies in rhyme Love from wells, portrait of loving souls Waters in wells, vignette of redeemed souls.
