in gaps
you create fences
where none existed
who am I to voice it aloud
I will jump right into it
stand in the midst
speak all I need to

"borders are so passe"

  2. The intensity built is undercut by that great "so passe" line. Well developed and meaningful.

  3. "in gaps you create fences where none existed"

    Wow...guilty as charged. Am I the only one that finds this "synchronistic"? This is exactly what I am working on to overcome in myself. Beautiful insight.

  6. Borders are a bit strange. I remember as a kid passing over a state border and wondering what happened to the fence and the guys with guns.

  8. So quickly we build our fences yet seldom take the time to mend them. Great Sunday 160. Thanks for playing.

  9. I like fences with gaps in them, so you can sneak through and share tea. Beautifully written!

  11. Wonderful contrast achieved in pairing the image with "voice it aloud" and "speak all I need to".

  12. This is wonderful and so true, if we don't start leaping over fences, then boundaries will always be set in stone. Powerful write

  14. My view is that fences are for animals, to keep them in or keep them out.

    They also make place holders for the borders. They say "What's mine is mine and I want to keep it mine."

    Thank you for the nice prompt word. It was fun but I had several false starts.

  15. I like the gaps in the fence or the fences with steps. I don't like to be kept OUT

  16. Dear Gautami,
    Good Evening!
    Fences build barriers ....
    We need bridges to get connected not the fences.....

  17. I live in Tucson, AZ, so this border issue is huge for me. I appreciate your perspective and its creative expression.
