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
