walls

Walls of armor
fortressing your heart.
Afraid of letting go
of that shield of protection.

Cold and alone
in your dark
lonely refuge.
Safe,
So you think.

It's trapped you.
Isolated you from the light
Separated you from your soul.

Just an armor
built of flesh,
And no one able
to touch
to warm inside

Come outside
Walk with me
and we will discover
the secret warmth
behind the walls
you're pain has built.

Let go.

Awesome poem -- reminds me of Sting's "Fortress Around Your Heart"! Springtime is the best time to thaw those old, stale, frozen winter feelings. New warmth of life and love sparks from snowy plains! Thanks for the inspiration!

Your the only light that shines in the darkness. So much to others wish it would just burn out.
