Carpe Diem Haiku – Wall


Regarding walls Khalil Gibran says:

“After all this is not a bad prison; but I do not like this wall between my cell and the next prisoner’s cell; Yet I assure you that I do not wish to reproach the warder not the Builder of the prison”

loneliness –
sharing evening meal
through the wall

He also said:
“Sadness is but a wall between two gardens”

fountain sing –
but its silver cascades
remain hidden

  1. To be imprisoned… by ones own self – can the singing fountain soothe and calm the trapped soul? Sometimes just listening to the fountain or the rain can be a healing rhythm.

    Thanks for your visit 🙂
