Bring To Light a Hidden and Silent Life

There was a serene beauty prevailing around her as she everyday trod the path to work.. She looked so absorbed in her own thoughts that one might not spot the mysterious and cloudy stare into her eyes..

She knew her way to home and work by heart.. she seemed to be in a perfect tune with time and place.. all her movements appeared to be synchronized with the tempo of the sounds surrounding her.. 

Such a harmonious living human being! If only one could step into her world and bring to light her hidden and silent life! 

Of those who watched her from afar would think of her a beauty of no core.. a blend of pathos and an unusual feel.. For those who crossed her path and nodded and smiled a friendly hello would neither see nor hear a greeting feedback! 

Such an endearing youth! If only one could receive the full force of her inner warmth and smiles! 

At work, no single unusual twists in her regular routine except for one bright day when a newly hired colleague, dripping with infatuation, approached her and dared looking into her non blinking eyes : 

“ When I look into your eyes I see a life of hope and love we can share together.. “

He could see her articulating : “ Would you please step closer and repeat what you have just said so that I can see you and decrypt your words? “

Each living being
an abundance of powers
possible to see
