Masonry

The perfect stone wall. Everything that contests it meets its end.
The wall keeps everyone out,
and only its architect in.

But it’s worth it because
sacrificing freedom is the only cost.
And the mason would give anything,
to make sure safety is never lost

Safety for non-brick layers that is easy to find.
Whereas for the wall builder,
if he saw no danger it would mean he’s gone blind.

Without stone the castle falls.
Therefore a master builder,
can turn anything into a wall.

A brilliant mason can even turn dreams into stone.
He uses what he must
to make sure uncertainty leaves him alone.

Because being safe even if trapped, preserves his anxious soul.
The stone walls he builds are perfect.
Nothing will ever make a hole.

So in his fortress the mason remains.
Protected from all risk,
and cutoff from any gains.
