house

sitting in this house.
walls of thoughts.
regret to the left. yearning to the right.
fears ahead. memories behind.
i built these walls.

roof of justice. floor of grace.
the window is a tease.
there is no door.

trapped perhaps?
mind. heart. soul.
it's all in here.

knock. knock. knock.
i hear it.
how do i let you in?

oh, thanks for turning on the light.

how did you get in?
oh, you always were?
yes, keep knocking on those walls.
knock until they fall to the ground.

let the floor rise and the roof sink.
may they draw nearer still
until justice and grace meet.
then i can dwell in your tent.
