Western Wall

I stand here by the
Western Wall
Maybe a little of that wall
Stands inside of us all
I shove my prayers in the cracks
I got nothing to lose
No one to answer back
All these years
I've brought up for review
I wasn't taught this but
I learned something new
I had to answer a distant call
At the Western
WallI've got a heart full of fear
And I offer it up on this altar of tears
Red dust settles deep in my skin
I don't know where it stops
And where
I beginIt's a crumbling pile of broken stones
It ain't much but it might be home
If I ever loved a place at all, it's the
Western Wall
I don't know if
God was ever a man
But if She was,
I think I understand
Why He found a place to break his fall
Near the Western
Wall
