Break and Bricks - Huguette Bertrand

Take all the walls down

and let dreams come out

from darkness

letting them expand

in the wilderness

of all memories

behind closed doors

Take all the walls down

to let the flowers grow

and all the trees also

fragrance and shade

will radiate the whole landscape

of the wounded minds

laying on the canvas

of dusty times

Let's take the bricks of walls

to build houses

leaving open

smiling doors

to enjoy the wind blowing

enchanted words

wrapped in light
