#27: The Infinite Wall

Sometimes in life, we do not find answers to the questions we are asking. We can search and search and search and all we find are more questions. The question then becomes not about answers, but acceptance on not knowing something and moving on.


From the film The Maze Runner



I traveled the world 
behold what have I found
A wall springing upwards
structurally sound

I wondered and wondered 
about the other side
If I could go around it 
what would I find?

I looked to the left 
I looked to the right
The wall continued 
past my line of sight

I looked up to see 
if the wall could be scaled
“Impossible” I thought
as my plan was derailed

The heights of this barrier 
touched the tip of the sky
Even the birds could never
get up that high

I leaned against the wall 
and cupped my ear
Maybe there was something 
that I could hear

The only sound I could make out 
was the howling wind
Echoing off the wall 
it crawled past my skin

Although new information 
could not be delivered
The whistling wind 
made my skin shiver

Were the sounds I was hearing 
ghosts of the past?
Was the other side of this wall 
a land for outcasts?

Although I could hear the wind
there was nothing I could see
What was on the other side 
remains a mystery
