Boundary Lines

what would they say
if boundary lines could talk
of first steps taken

in courage
fear
ignorance
foolishness
confidence
faith

what would they say
if boundary lines could talk
of first steps regretted

patricia spreng

  3. I would hope they'd say the first steps regretted led to second steps redeemed.

  4. If boundary lines could talk, oh, there's much that should be said! I like the creativity prompted by the photo.
