The Wall

I stood before the wall
In the early morning light
I am alone with history

I stand on holy ground
So much pain and tears
Are in this place

Over two thousand years
Of hate permeate this space
Through all time, it knows no rest

This wall has never known peace
I do now what others have done before
I place a prayer within its weathered stones

A prayer for peace, for understanding
And enlightenment of all peoples
I leave the Wailing Wall to its destiny

    The Wall’ is a writing of the past and present…the pain and hatred felt and known through the ages are still here…in your poem there is a prayer for peace and understanding…it brings a hope that glimmers and yet all must be left to the destiny of what shall be.
