Listen

listen to me
not with your thoughts,
not with your words,
not with your feelers,
trying to make sense
of what you are
or who I am;
listen to me
with the silence
that swallows it all,
where you don't know
where you begin
or end;
listen to me,
lie still, in me.

Walls

walls.
they are everywhere.
fortresses.
of fear.
boundaries.
of love.
walls.
bind us to the other.
remind us of what could be.
yet, there are spaces
where walls
can set us free.
if only we look
above. or beneath.
to dig like a mole,
or grow wings like a dove,
to look beyond walls
that hold us
from love.
