Stone Wall Silence

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 seven-fold
Love and joy take hold
