WALL
You found my barriers
and dismantled them
carefully
one by one
and then
you reached that wall
it was solid
unmoving
too high for you to climb
so you sat at its base
with me
quietly
and understood
till the mortar wore thin
then gently
brick by brick
then gently
brick by brick
you lowered the wall
until you saw me
all of me
standing there
unprotected
but safe
and you smiled
until you saw me
all of me
standing there
unprotected
but safe
and you smiled

Creating a door inside the wall, trumping the statement, a wall is not a door. Excellently crafted post!

Oh, I love this poem! The gentle patience of love that waits quietly, earning your trust by gentle measures, not breaking down walls..realizing the time will come when walls no longer seem necessary..wonderful!
Wow, this is wonderful! The DISMANTLING of a wall. I love that he sat there with you and listened and understood......and smiled. Wonderful poem! SO well done!
I really like the patience and the willingness to dismantle that wall to find that inner core of you...bkm
you are lucky to have someone have the patience to do that! 3 cheers to him/her and you !!
If only senor Richi had patience as such....I somewhat envy the "romeo" in your piece. Guys got styyyyyyyyyyyle.
Patient waiting! Good lesson, we all have to be patient!
Faced with an obstacle in life,although difficult, sometimes patience is rewarded...
