Guardian of an ancient place

A wall stands there
Imposing, threatening
A complicated palisade
Performing its noble duties
Ancient and defended well
By the memories of the warriors
Buried deep within the structure
By the vigilance of the ravens
Waiting for the humans to return
At the powerfully defended gate
Perfectly shaped stones melded
Unified and made one,
Surrounding the village
In a ring of stone and will never fall
No invaders will ever pillage
And no enemy could breach the ramparts
