1 Lifelines
These lines are a silent whisper
A rhyme of brick and iron
Bigger than a dam across
A lissome tumbling river
My safety found from a height
Soaring away from the crowd
A fine fence of mortar and steel
A divide against floods of emotions
They multiply every time I write
I grade each sentence and angle
A pilot, I scribble my guide
An inch neither given nor taken
The hurricane of life swirls around me
Courage my only reply
