moats, walls, shells, seaweed fences:
endure and submit

    Almost a metaphor for life, I think.

    What Anthony said. So true of life and of dreams.

    This is what I call a metaphor transformation into the literal --- but I must admit, I have never thought of endurance as being a form of tolerance --

    The poem flows like a wave reaching and then receding-- beautiful.

    Endurance might be difficult (not that it is ever easy).

    Yes, to do the right thing, even when you know what the end result will be. I like it.

    loved this...I'm thinking...summer- can't wait. Oh- I will submit and endure that season! sorry I deleted the last comment- too many spelling errors to be "tolerated"

    This is wonderful...It is impossible for one to be tolerant of that which we refuse to accept for others or self.
