The Crooked Archway

I've been told in life

we have to make our own way:

like carving the arch

in a dense hedge.

Brick walls all around

insulated by roses:

beautiful, but treacherous

to push through.

Finding a narrow path in the brick

shears in hand, we chop away

as tall as we are, we carve the archway

till one by one

maybe two by two

we'll duck on one side

and finally get through.
