Scaled.
Bulwarking dire message to keep out, thick walls
shout a menace of warning.
Herald of fear in days of yore a fortress brooked
no man-made breaching at all.
Yet defences of pride hold no less terror, erecting
exclusion with scorn or frown.
Fierce mindscapes built high maintain a distance
but scaled by love disdain falls down.
It will smash with kind blows stone stronger than
steel by mildly chipping away.
When heart calls to heart no mighty rampart can
stand in love\'s powerful way.
