love-construction analogy
By: Shawn D. Petrie (11-12-2006)

Through the clearing stands a place
Where dreams are close to home
And the people of the town
Move effortlessly around

This place is built on hope
A rock solid foundation
Trust that makes it strong
But there is something wrong

Brick upon brick as it was built
Some pieces were left out
Of for no other reason
Replaced with substitutions

What was called for in the plans
Was thought to be fulfilled
Except for minor details
Which would prove to be enormous

The structure was unknowingly places
On the fault of love and hate
And high up on the hill top
Stood a calling which was waiting

And down below the town
The houses and the dreams
The vaults of memories and progress
Waiting, unsuspecting, safe in its own ignorance

***************************************

And what is left
When the fire is cold
Is just another fire
But of a different kind

The example set is pushed upward
Into the mouth of the monster
And will be open for inspection
For those willing to inquire

The charred and grey remains
Of the once unknowing town
Cleansed by rain
And dusted by the gentle wind

Leaving nothing of what was
Just the memory of a time
When the world they built felt safe
No harm would ever come

And the souls left twisting
Cannot rest nor move ahead
There trampled and ignored
While the world moves itself along

And the cycle is pushed to re-set
