Stone Cold Rock Wall

Stone Cold Rock Wall



I would have written
"Something there is
that doesn't love a wall,
that wants it down,"
but Robert Frost took my words
years before my birth
and pre wrote my thoughts.

That's ok, so long as I have the
words to use, and I can say
what I need with his well written verse.

Walls between you and me
were just not meant to be,
and words are not sufficient to
build or to tear them down.

Years of actions misunderstood,
cemented into place by rock hard hurt,
and stone cold criticisms,
built these walls of shabby black rock.

Perhaps no wrecker in the world
could break the mortar and stone that divides us,
but we could sit astride the wall
and visit on the top.
