Within

Although they stand stiffly at attention,
these walls reach out
and hold me safe within their middle.
They stand guardian,
cushioning sound,
deflecting sharp edges.
Lucky me to have their protection.
Foolish me to leave their arms.
Yet the butterfly
soars over and away.

for dVerse Poets, the Quadrille Challenge prompt is “With.”

    A safe and solid home base means you can do as you will, what you need and want to do, knowing it’s there, waiting for you. Thanks for joining in on the prompt, Judy.
