Boundaries and Walls

Boundaries and Walls

Boundaries are marked by the realities of the land;
they dissolve when you look up and view the sky.

Go where you may,
walls don't dissolve.
Boundaries may shift,
collide, dissolve.
Walls won't.
Walls have a stubbornness.
a character; once you form them
they grow, beyond your power,
beyond your will.
Go where you will;
the walls will walk with you, smother you with love,
guard you from enemies, but keep you in fear.

Boundaries are open, absorbent like love,
ending, unending, extending the horizons.
Boundaries speak and let others speak
over the open space.
They mark the zones but above them, you share the sky,
limitless above you and the other.

Boundaries are your inner guards,
giving you strength and the power to go,
to transcend the lines drawn on maps
until you reach where you were destined to reach,
the land of openness where language ends and love begins.
