Shaky floors

You are not the rain

I’d want to soak

in times of distress

 

You are not the wind

I’d want to shake up

a carefully constructed world.

 

You are not the fire

that lights hope

in a fatigued heart

 

I’d not have learnt

to walk alone and strong

with dependable support.

 

I’d not have built

walls of isolation

in pleasant ambiences

 

I owe all I am

to shaky floors

and crumbling ceilings
