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.
