The Silent Kiss
“All creatures love in many ways-
and how they show it will amaze”.
_by Poet
Close to the glass, the mom lifted her up-
dressed in a yellow romper with bows
and wispy, blonde hair circling her head.
He then came closer to the glass
and sat intently facing her;
with his deep, dark eyes- yet with a gentle twinkle,
he looked calmly into her blue eyes.
She stared at him for a moment;
just a few inches apart- each from a different world.
And yet, he knew she was precious.
Quickly, he pressed his lips against the glass-
that showed her pink cheek on the other side.
With gentle love, the Gorilla lingered for a moment-
then offered her his sweet, silent kiss.
