Day 154 - Bending Bricks

I wish our walls could bend at ease

That brick by brick they were built for flexibility

But not all can be as I please

Day by day that becomes easier and easier to see

The arch made there is a compromise

One that the wall made for the land

But bricks and dirt have no knowing eyes

And take much less to understand

Walls are sturdier than I can be day after day

Because I was not made to weather rain

I was made to hear and search for the sweet things to say

And learn to muster paths away from pain

We cannot bend as the walls do

We can only search for what is true
