The Silent Wall

Such a high wall! Couldn't get over it!
Couldn't knock it down!!
A wall of "silence"...so cold and cruel!
A wall of "secrecy".....meant to fool!
Such a high wall! Too high for me!
Confused and alone! I just could not see!
Such a high wall! Made with rough bricks!
Try as I might, I just could not fix!
I took some away! But, I have to say,
It was built even higher, that very same day!
Such a strong wall!
Then, I decided, to build my own wall!
Such a strong wall! To keep away harm!
No misplaced trust or tricksters, that charm!
Such a strong wall! I'm safe and content!
Free from all, that ill fate hath sent!
Happy....at Peace...my needs are so few!
Such a strong wall! So solid and new!
Not isolation! Not dismal and grey!
The new bricks are shining, on this lovely day!
The "sunshine" is so bright, here on the inside
It's fashioned in gold....so high and so wide!
With Peace, Harmony,Honesty, Loyalty and Love,
And there on my wall, sits a beautiful dove!!
