The Common Center (poem)

The Common Center


My invisible boundary
Breached by your step too close
On guard and justified
I step away.
Within all, this common center
These imperceptible barriers built
Protecting innocence
Protecting peace

Concentrically and respectfully so
A physical domicile is constructed
With walls and locks
Yards with fences
Cities with limits
Nations with borders
Not for fear or distrust
In ethical humanity
But the one who would dare
To breach my invisible boundary
