Alyssa Lorette Poet Quintain (English)

Time's Wall

Scarlet letters lay beside time's wall - awaiting for it to shatter.
Quills write porcelain wishes, "perhaps the barricade shall turn into glass."
Olive branches yearn to one day lock together - to finally make it matter.
However, the dusty fence keeps flourishing each day to our cloudy behalf.
The fog from the enclosure has made our worlds black and white alas.
