Walls of Silence

Brick-built walls of silence

Seems like they have always been there

From mother to daughter to niece and so on

The language is just not there

Living in walls of silence

I can’t hear what is on your heart

There’s pain and triumph, hurt and loss

We can get past it if we share our thoughts

Sitting on walls of silence

Pondering yesteryear

If onlys won’t make it better

Open dialogue can help the healing begin

Let’s break down the walls of silence

By humbly submitting to one to another, with care

I listen to you

You listen to me

In time, we will know the other cares.

Broken down walls of silence

The healing has begun

Forgiveness, tears, better days ahead

With embraced arms around each other

Love will triumph!
