Simple


She stands there quietly
silently
as if lost
captivated
by her own mind
She thinks before she speaks
of the consequences
of others around her
but never
herself

Her small acts of kindness go
unnoticed
like the dew on the petals of a flower after it rains
Cleanses
the earth
petrichor
She remains silent
Hoping
That someone will notice
Her
Laugh
Smile
Love

The day her silence is
understood
given importance
a chance
to receive instead of give
Unusual
Appreciated
Respected
