Words

When shyness lost

Its hold

And

Words won the war.

Beyond the wall

Where

For a while

A tear would fall

The bricks decayed

Where light touched

And drew close

The words inside

To smile

A dream once hidden

Begins where fear

Ends

And love begins

For lifes sweet kiss

Of sunset skies

On starling wings

And nighttime stars

Of moonlight dreams

When shyness lost

Its hold

And

Words won the war.
