A Shadow Wall
Why can I not see the love inside myself?
My wall which remains opaque shall not die.
The world around me views the wall I build;
A mighty fortress of great solitude.
But only the ones who I deem worthy
Can gaze inside the lonely walls of me.
For in the great and glorious walls of old
Wonder and intrigue are held estranged,
Away from the master’s great and tall throne.
They cannot reach the gate to save us
From the shadows of the unknowing;
Boredom lies inside the gate of stone
Which keeps the master from his love sublime.
His love shall wander ‘round the gate and search,
For only the ones who are deemed worthy
Shall see the inside of the the master’s beast;
A terrible and shameful sight which brings
Much grief and dread to all who here enter.
