Stone Wall Silence
How will the wall come down?
Dear Brother,
Offenses taken
Pleas, trust, and faith forsaken
New pains awaken
---
Silence, shame, and guilt
Trowels lay mortar unspilt
Stone upon stone built
---
Darkness unbroken
Sunlight yet to be woken
No sorries spoken
---
Recall Jericho
When God threw down stones so low
Stone fields turn fallow
---
Breach and break this wall
Let stones cleave, fracture, and fall
Heave out dregs of gall
---
Apologies told
Forgiving all sevenfold
Love and joy take hold
---
With thankful heart,
Your Sister
