Mind the Gap

"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

  1. This is a modern day - "Be careful little feet where you go"!! Love it. "Mind the gap" indeed.

  2. The 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.
