"mind the gap"
the sign said
we must watch where we
place our feet
I did mind the gap
stepped right over it
onto the platform
and deeper into my city
I stepped off the train
swallowed in a mass of humanity
speaking words
I would never understand
as we move about our lives
there are places of danger
where a false step could
injure or kill
open the Book and see...
"mind the gap"
the sign says
we must watch where we
place our feet
I like this one. A lot.
ReplyDeleteThis is a modern day - "Be careful little feet where you go"!! Love it. "Mind the gap" indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe Book... God asks, "who will stand in the gap?" Sometimes we risk ourselves to save others -- to keep them from falling through the cracks and stumbling into the gap. We can bridge the gap for them...but at a risk to ourselves. This is, of course, of no consequence to a true Outsider.
