The Wall (written for competition: That which must not be named)
The Wall
Tall and wide and impenetrable
some say they have jumped through and
come back over the top
tell us what is
what is there
over there
just
looking at it though
you cant tell
no one can tell by the way it's made
no matter who it is
there is the stopping
you cant go in and out as you please
you cant just open and close at will
it goes and goes
no doorway or gate apparent
scared of it we are
most of us
but curious
forever fascinated with
the wall
that deliniates here from there
them that were
from us that are now
marks the boundary
keeper of history
ruler of time
this wall
has no bounds
it separates us all
in the end
maybe what we imagine
is what will be
quantum physics and all
the observer changes what is observed
reality is in the eye of the beholder
even there
if so
ill take the garden story
music and flying
and laughing
always joy
seeing we all made it too
there
all of us billions together
without barriers any longer
standing on the top
holding hands without fear
i've heard it whispered
the wall will be torn down
soon
there will be no need of it
any longer
it is rumoured a saboteur came
a while ago
undermined the foundations
made it weak and ready to fall
left it unable to keep its place
for long
yes this wall is really a mirage
if you look hard
but your eyes have to be closed
and your mind has to be open
to see through
tall and wide and impenetrable
it seems impossibe
the heart knows the way
