Love transcends
The barriers of language.
I learnt
From a seven year old
Dutch angel.
If she felt
Love and happiness,
She just ran to me
With arms outstretched
And held me in a tight embrace.
I felt
Eye contact,
A gentle nudge
A warm hug,
Slipping hand
In hand.
Sign language
To comprehend.
Were a rare
Adventure.
We became friends
In seven days
Aren’t words
Quite inapt
To express
Such varied emotions,
Without
Fear of distortion
And miscommunication?
