Sunday 160: Coming to Light


When the time drew near
a heavenly white light,
so bright, 
approached

Unfortunately,
it was unable to
retrieve the child’s soul
for he had built his wall too high

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The above is based on a recent dream

Monkey Man is host to Sunday 160: where one must write a story or poem in EXACTLY 160 characters (spaces included). Please visit his site to read other entries and complete rules.

Hmmm, perhaps the soul is in a better place...

Some walls do imprison the soul. That is for certain. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.

So sad. The walls we build around ourselves keep a lot of good things out. Fortunately, the ultimate Light overcomes them.

I was hoping it was a train...coming to take you on a fabulous trip...

But alas...it was deep...

And I am a shallow person.

PS. Loved it. I think I just had too much caffeine today!

Interesting dynamic in your dream. Thought-provoking and just this side of sad.
