The wall of truth has no gate,
no way to go beyond,
and resolute and dominate
stands before us all
high upon a mountain top
only the brave can climb.

At the base a river flows;
so many tears, I know,
added to each day
by even those who pray.

In the sky long white clouds
view from another stance
the lie of the land
and how vulnerable is truth
standing all alone
on a hilltop far away.

But in the confines
of universal silence
truth explodes into the air
and lands the bricks and mortar, pain,
into my love abode
to there disturb stability
and upset normality.

And I could tell you stories
and say it’s all a game
for who of us are brave enough
to climb a mountain high
in case we slip and topple
into vulnerability?

I am so sorry for your pain. Perhaps there will be some truths that are not so heavy handed in the future. I hope that for you, and for me too.
