Silent Sam

He sits, inscrutable in his silence,

Immune to intrusion,

Apparently unreachable;

 

But if you touch his heart

A smile briefly breaks

Like sunrise at dawn…

 

Then is gone.

Lost in his inner world, briefly touched, and back again into his silence. This is very touching, indeed, and nice that you could touch his heart.

This is a wonderful piece. It portrays the mood of many men from a certain generation so well.
