Paradigm


Paradigm
Status Quo                                      

Safe reason
Jealously protected
The boundaries,
A svelte loop of opinion
Juxtaposed reason
Walling 
Stone by stone
Sheltered
on one side.
Exposed on the other
Until the wall
Topples down

    I agree with Gina-I loved that passage! Stellar writing, once again!

  12. Love how you set it up and then have it topple down. The weight of imbalance.

  13. The walls must come down, to restore balance. I liked the balance of this piece!
