Rating: G
Summary: Within her walls, her team is safe.
Disclaimers: The words belong to Gwenyth Lewis, from the Millenium Centre. The Hub belongs to TW, despite having been blown up.
A/N: I adore these words. And when I read thetw100 prompt 'In the Walls'.. I thought of them immediately. This doesn't do justice to the poetry that inspired it.
I also went through no less than three incarnations of this before I was settled...

In these Stones Horizons Sing
The human lifespan is such a blip in time to the stones of the Earth. The Torchwood employee’s lifespan is less than that. The stones that make up the walls of the Torchwood Three Hub are no exception to this rule, they’ve seen many lifetimes. These walls hold the truths and the secrets and the whispers in the dark; they hold the lies that keep the world safe. Within these walls are the tiny lives of the humans that protect the world. In these stones, horizons don’t merely sing, they resonate with the love and the life of those within.
