" A Wall So Great "
the path was steep and broken
as if made simply to deterr,
whispered words they lay unspoken
on the wind there could be heard,
the sound of a woman crying
I thought, as clear as day,
I shake my head to imagination
and continue on my way,
the stones on which I tread
spaces missing in between,
this path carelessly forgotten
for such a long time it seems,
a clearing through the trees
and there I look on high,
a wall so great so tall so thick
more formidable than I,
Is this trek I take
is it worthy of my heart?
or is it a mistake
a fools errand from the start?
the reality of it hits me
and as I look around,
tresses, raven,gold and red
lie in frustration on the ground,
how could I think my simple love
could bridge a wall so great?
impenetrable and obstinant
impassable to this date,
wearily I close my eyes
the light of hope dies out,
I see now there is no reason
for me to climb or shout,
so many came before me
this wall they tried so hard to climb it,
breach it, beat it ,break it through
when it is he who must come from behind it.....
