Haiku - Wall

Walls





the wall has been built
hence await for visitors-
we stand by the gate





 Maybe that wall is also the wall about which Khalil Gibran says the following:


[...] "After all this is not a bad prison; but I do not like this wall between my cell and the next prisoner’s cell; Yet I assure you that I do not wish to reproach the warder not the Builder of the prison".[...]

[...] "Sadness is but a wall between two gardens". [...]

tearing down the walls
giving room to wild flowers
to color the earth

**I don't like to give explanation or add too much in hopes the haiku speaks for itself. I would like to add. I think walls people build (or are helped built for them) are individual; as the door they have to that wall.**

    1. I think people have walls but want people to come to the door. But fear keeps the wall up. I think men maybe even more then women... but both do. It is my opinion and observation.

  4. Patience in waiting before the gate ... yes indeed a sign of hope, but why built a wall ...

    1. Good question. But I think each probably has their own reason. Some walls stronger then others. Some thin or no walls. Metaphorically.
