Stone Wall in Three Versions

                             Stone Wall in Three Versions 

"What a joy it is to feel the soft, springy earth under my feet once more, to follow grassy roads that lead to ferny brooks where I can bathe my fingers in a cataract of rippling notes, or to clamber over a stone wall into green fields that tumble and roll and climb in riotous gladness!"
- Helen Keller

by 'Minjing Viernes 9 and team 2018 

A cracked wall - home and nest of house lizards
lurking for insect preys, and foretelling fortune
in crispy happy notes in succession, like bards
foretelling some guests or money coming soon.


A cracked wall house lizards make their abode,
amidst danger and abandon where man is told
to keep away to give way to this reptilian niche,
a simple fact ecology has a lot to teach.

What make a stone wall red make children wonder;
when summer ends and mosses turn red or brown;
or igneous rock retaining the color of its fiery birth,
or memory of war, or royal symbol long gone.

Can you carry a biblical wall - the story  
about an enemy fort where a bloody battle 
was fought breaking a formidable siege, 
guided by a "god of the righteous faithful"  
stumping in unison 'til the wall fell down?

 Green Stone Wall in acrylic (12" x 24") by Lyn G Reyes 2018

A  tired traveler stops before reaching his goal,
finds a wall covered with moss and lichen, 
released from prison in the mind and soul,
the wall's no more, but a comforting garden.


Lyn 9 and her Green Wall painting 2018

Green in monsoon, dry and dull in summer.
each season a mark of time and erosion,
a cycle of life, history, and of mankind,
Nature soon takes over man's creation. ~
