Within the Red Brick walls

I stood outside the red brick wall that was high
looking at the gate, I had heard stories that were knitted inside.
Very soon I would be a new ball of yarn
very soon I would be unwound and rolled
across the red brick wall that was high.So here I was finally inside the gate
My unsure eyes needed assurance beside
never had I let myself take on to the world
but I heard this is where wings get unfurled.
Further I went .. further inside what the red brick walls contained
Far inside I found a small key to the long awaiting trail....
one by one picking on the clues laid on the way I,
found more than one door to the treasure
that the red brick walls seemed to hold.With a pounding heart I peeped inside each door
behind each I struck small mounds of precious gold.
Inside those red brick walls I found gold promising to
laugh along with me even in the times of rust
Inside those high red brick walls I found gold pledging to
teach me the difference between diamonds and dust
Inside those brick walls I found gold assuring me returns higher than anything one could ever give
Those red brick walls changed the directions of my future
I thought I would live...
Ran a thousand miles in the corridors with
so many reasons to smile
Sat on the grass to share little thoughts every once in a while.
Jumped up the stairs hearing any frantic calling
The red brick walls had made us fearless of
falling...
In this little speck of time the red brick walls gifted me lessons to keep
from an uncertain shiver...I became the girl with beliefs so deep..
All this while never realized it would be over so soon
Thinking We'll see each other after every restless month of June
Alas! Indeed it is time to come out of the red brick walls
Its time to show the world Why they are so high.
Why those walls so humble yet so tall!
