Walls That We Have Built

Walls That We Have Built Somewhere there is a little sunshine A ray of light A spark You’re not here Sunken into it Shaken Defeated My back against the wall Eying the four corners of the room The familiarity and safety of home Finding my way Holding unto yesterday But letting go Creating distance Whispers and shadows Patterns and signs Of what is to come While we wait our turn to go home My forever bloom Arose from the grave Breathing energy Awakening the emptiness Of silence in my spirit I’m not afraid Of losing you to fate We all have to wait Thieves do not get rewarded They get burnt at the stake Tuck and pack my tears away Heavy they are with greed You’ve seen yellow and gray You have lived Lines and wrinkles Fill your face Dimond chandeliers Building up and knocking down Walls that we have built Marckincia Jean Free verse 01/10/20
