The physical wall holds up the River and stops it flooding the roads Heavy weather unusual rainfall has taken its toll The river can no longer hold back, the water bursts through flooding the track No houses in site, thank goodness we say and pray that the weather will dry up Nature will be left to clear up the mess
The inner walls crumble and finally fall A river of emotion comes tumbling out It's starts off slow and tumbles and turns, picking up speed as it goes Churning up emotions until they no longer hold tight I push and push with all my might The wall gives way and Finally the tears they come aplenty and cleanse my face, body and mind Who's around to clear up my mess?
Out for a walk yesterday and the canal banks had burst, I was stopped in my tracks and had to take another route. It got me thinking about defence walls both physical and inner more virtual walls
This poem is as a result of that walk, I hope you like
