In the sky at night a string of light
bright spots dot the blank dark wall
and then I imagine they are the seams
and splits, the fallen splinters of time
and if I could step far enough
to take it all in with ever patient stare
there would be a window
and a view of an eternal day
where peace filled the waves
and tides gently covered yellow sands
soft powder beneath children’s feet
whose voices filled the air with laughter
and the happiness of their play rose to
the faces of rising hills, covered in deep green
and newborn clouds gathered above
to give drops of sweet rain water
clustered in streams on the hills, to flow
upon welcome blue waters, filled with
sky and sunshine; life teemed on
earth of many colors, in air and water…
and the laughter of the children
sang out and echoed for all time.

Whoa--to fracture the heavenlies, the darkness, to find such lovliness, such joy--it is dreamlike, but comes across here as within possibility's realm. The Wall was the start of something indeed, as this poem reflects, and I know Bunny will appreciate the remembrance. Thank you for this beautiful piece of escape.
