Each so beautifully different,
Strong and seemingly unbreakable,
Yet overwhelmingly fragile.
Lay a foundation,
Jagged, unmatched and rough.
Does it fit?
Continue to build,
Each layer grows stronger,
More impenetrable.
A whirlwind topples a few stones.
New reinforcement.
Stronger, and with more determination.
Need to protect.
A wave of you crashes down and threatens stability.
Work harder, work faster.
Salvage the progress,
And continue to add.
Meanwhile -

attempts to chisel away.
Some make dents,
Some holes,
Some take down sections.
But the hard work perseveres.
And the wall remains.
