Empty walls stare back at me
Dare at last to set me free
Possessions no longer hold their spell
I知 finally free of this living hell
That once seduced me to succeed
My passion then replaced by greed

Empty walls are now my friend
No longer do I need pretend
My spirit and soul is all I need
To face this world that would mislead
Simple folk who want to do right
Share with their neighbor rather than fight

Empty walls bring me back home
To a place full of memories where I知 not alone
No pictures to prove I知 alive
A past reminder when I only survived
I知 now at peace within this place
Fulfilled with love and God痴 precious grace

Empty walls bring a quiet peace
From hectic lives that never cease
To reach out for more without regret
Leaving behind recrimination and debt
Our final resting place knows no walls
That contain spirits when heaven calls

There's so much here that's left unsaid. Deep and thought provoking. Good work, thanks.

Keith, we could all use a tranquil place such as yours. A place where there is no waves from the daily world.
Beautiful write.
