WALLS

come over here, you said,
come and see what I see

but how, I asked,
there is a wall blocking my way

walk through, you replied,
and so I walked,

and as I walked,
I walked through memory
and through confusion,

through yesterday,
then through tomorrow,

and as I walked,
I walked through regret
and through failure,

through apprehensions
and beliefs, then
through judgements
and ideals,

and as I walked,
I walked through right and wrong
and through fear

and when my wall was gone,
I looked around,
but you were not here

then I saw you
in the distance
and I called your name

come over here, I said,
come and see what I see

but how, you asked,
there is a wall blocking my way
