Time's Wall Premiere Contest Winner

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. Written On: July 5th, 2017 Contest: Far Away Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron Won: 1st Place

That's exactly where I was going when I put that olive branch line in. I'm glad you guessed my metaphor right! Thank you so much, Tim! :)
