Mamta Agarwal - Love needs no Language

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?
