We are strands of barbed wire.
With sharp words that shred and gouge each other, we try to protect our boundaries. We position ourselves for maximum security, minimal intrusion.
Our strength lies in steely resolution. It is maintained through tautness and and a resistance to the elements.
How lonely.
Let's, you and I, align ourselves. Let's entangle in such a way that our barbs don't dig at one another. Let's use our strength and stark beauty to bring peace to our granted parcels of earth, and to establish boundaries where nothing but love may enter.
Let's support each other's purpose.
Let's entwine.
