[QUOTE="Bhryn Astairre, post: 2562281"] [b]Friends Over Walls[/b] [font=times new roman] A distant star that shines on those who had dreamed Of a world without a wall: To climb over nor seperate the nations That would make up their entire world. But this wall was built by hands That laid every brick and mortar filled: They made it so high it could reach the sky Where above the clouds milled. Across one side stood others who Did not know why they made a breach: Questioned each and every day Why their friends had begun to preach? Was there not some shred of memory That remained to keep them strong? Or was it forgotten in a wave of hate As time had simply worn on. The years went by and soon that wall Was covered in notes and words: An unsung song, a fettered rose A poem spoke eloquently in verse. But paper nor the thorns of plants Could tear down what they had made And neither could the winding love Into those cracks pervade. Who would make and bear a thing To keep apart two friends in life? A wall made only to distance Has just caused much heartfelt strife. Distant as the stars that had once Blessed them for their dreams: A friendship overshadowed by a chasm Bridged not by moonbeams. So the days and the nights came And went as before: Only now they lacked the lustre That had filled them, nevermore. Think twice before you speak in anger And build a wall up high: You never know how many smiles You'll miss when you take such a tithe. You'll never see the face of heaven Nor capture in the sweep of dusk: Just what it means to have no walls, No boundaries to hem in love. Little by little you'll understand, You'll take apart that breach: Close together, friends forever You'll find eternity underneath.[/font] [/QUOTE]
