The Fall of the Wall
Posted: November 15, 2009
Both the one in Berlin and the one within…
A crumbling wall
recalls the fall
of 1989
when Germany awoke
to see
Berliners hoisting steins.
A piece of wall
would (after all)
announce the Cold War's peace.
It would portend
another end
when Communism ceased.
But there's a wall
within us all
that stubbornly still stands.
It keeps us from
the Holy One
and what this King demands.
Without a doubt
we wall God out
by wanting life our way.
Behind our pride
we try to hide
pretending night is day.
Let walls fall down
that peace be found
where conflict's been the norm.
For after all
where there's no wall
our cold hearts start to warm.
