Fortress

on

After the thousand stormy nights
I built a fortress
I'd cause no further plight.

Calm and quiet
Mild yet strong
A hundred days
Went along.

Why did I ever take a peek
Through the windows
Buried deep.

Then through one
The summer wind
Touched me, changed me
While I was still asleep.

Only to wake
Confused once more
Is this what I was hiding from?
