Strength Can Crumble

Along countless miles of solid wall,

the otherside kept hidden from a blind seeker.

Curiosity pours rivers from those who call,

one man steals a peek and whispers, "I see her!"

Journeying north, doubts left unknown as this may all end with a fall.

Higher and higher the temp drops and he ponders, "who IS this keeper??"

Adrenaline burned with determination looks South to risk it all.

Landing on what was imagined to be nails aimed ready for war,

Were in fact clouds that had been so breathtaking he would never come to realize that he had been given his own door.
