Together

I won't say I understood at first.
He gave me two list -
The Lord said,

"I want you to build the greatest
wall and
tear it down.

The people will come together
in my name."
I was speechless,

thought of the bricks and nails
at my feet
and shuddered.

I feared the sound of that fall
and asked the Lord
His reason.

He came forward and looked over
a land
I could not see

and said: "There are many walls that
are built that only
our hearts can see."

Silence. I understood He had given me
my second list.
I took up a pen

and in the name of the Lord wrote my wall.
