Emotional Silence


(poems go here) Silently the tiny figurine stands waiting our approval of acceptance. Silently the undesirable beauty of the figurine is revealed by the little girl's eyes. The little girl with the tiny hands reaches for the figurine-- "Please don't touch!, exclaims the clerk. The little girl with the pretty blue eyes begins to cry. "Please don't cry little girl," sympathizes the clerk. The little girl silently stands and glares at the figurine. "Why won't it move?" thinks the girl. It's not fair to have her stand alone. So the little girl with the tiny hands and dark blue eyes, picks up the figurine. As she examines the object closer, she wonders why it is kept in the strange box. The little girl turns the knob and soon the figure beings to turn. The soft ballet music fills the air and is inspiring to the little girl's ears. Soon the figurine slows its pace and becomes silent and at rest again. And tears softly roll down the little girl's eyes.
