once was a wall
an impenetrable barrier
beyond which
nothing and no one
could pass
it withstood all tests
of time
and weather
war and tempest
the furies of nature
and man
came as nothing
and left no mark
bones and rubble
of countless crusades
lay as dust before it
indistinguishable
from the ruined remains
of feverishly futile
enterprise
it was as if this wall
was and would always be
the end
and beginning
of everything
and so the wall became
the bulwark of existence
a final framework
from which to build
all reality
but this was untrue
the wall was an illusion
and as is with all lies
was never really there
and so it was
Peace/Love
