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!
