Four Walls

poem by: Steven Godfrey
Written on Oct 20, 2016

I awake each morning, four walls are closing in  
Looking out into the garden , the dew upon the grass  
The morning fog is lifting , birds chirping , bold as brass 
There is a  chill in the air , autumn trees are going bare 

Four walls that sorround me , but not a prison cell
For I have the key , this is where I choose to dwell
Life is what you make it , you are here for a short while 
Do what you want ,when you can, but do it in your own style 

Try to free the mind , open up your inner thoughts 
Write them down ,share them , those words cannot be  bought 
Four walls may be sometimes , all you see each day 
Be real, be honest the world outside is never far away 

Always retain a glimmer of hope in your mind and in your  heart 
That the life you aspire to, is your very own work of art 
A gradual process as each day passes by 
For you never really know ,when you are an apple in someones eye .
