When a pin drop broke the quiet
The book of truths was heard
That broke hard years of diet
Where silence was preferred

Then slowly came some talking
And thoughts that cross each mind
To then the nights of walking
With what had been behind

Those years of feeling lonely
As walls of silence grew  
Where bitter took the only  
True love I ever knew

But then a light from up above
From somewhere passed the blue
Showed again a glimpse of love
And feelings that were new

And sparks then came to fire
Such warmth to fill the heart
Again ones all desire
With life anew to start

A pin drop broke the silence
And walls they fell away
The sun is warm and giving now  
I thank that sound each day

walls are broken
one brick at a time

Rick,

What a wonderful poem.  

Sometimes, pins have the strength of wrecking balls.  I hope this happy message is about you.  I have missed you and am always smiling when I see you have come in and shared a poem.

Amazing what a pin can do - burst "it" or hold "it" together.  Lovely poem.

Dear Rick, this is a delightful write, showing an evolution that brought back life's gift of love. A pin drop can occur in many ways ... we must always listen.

Beautiful!

...the sound of a pin is a marvel, and this caused a silent burn beneath my eyelids.  I too hope all the pins and needles sewn into silence fall daily, beneath a winging heart
