that smile
What's there to laugh... Eh....
Hey... Stoppp....
He told the little girl sitting on pavement along with him...
"Everyone makes mistakes... Eh... I dint know that... Stones carved to bricks, shoven together to walk upon are so good for sitting"... He spoke while sniffing his hands for any roadside fragrance... " Naaah am good"...
"You should watch carefully and walk".. Said the girl...
Guy.-" Don't you know big mountains do fail... "
Little Girl: you mean fall??
Guy- yes yes.. What else did I say...
Little girl- nah you did nothing wrong.. . Except falling over your own litter.. She looked at him rolling her eyes up...
Guy- um well yes my name is gabi...
Little girl-.. Are you drunk?...
Guy- me?... Yes am good!!
Little girl- there is a thing called answering a question!!
Gabi- yeah....
Little girl- so you are sane.... But avoiding the quite the obvious answers to questions uncomfortable to you!!
Gabi- wait what!! Am I in meeting with my psychiatrist...??...
Little girl- so????
Gabi- what???
Little girl- first of all... If you are sobber how did you fall!!...
Gabi- I go to a psychiatrist and still this is what you want to know???
Little girl- oh! So you want me to lend you ears?
Gabi- no not that... But how you decide what's more important to talk to someone?
Little girl- how do you decide.. What should be important for others?
Gabi- empathy!!!
Little girl- what if they themselves are wounded?
Gabi- umm...
Little girl- everyone is going through something which they can't explain....
Gabi- aren't you older in thoughts than your age??
Little girl- the word you may wish to use is " Smarter" Right...
Both kept sitting on pavement for a few moments with no one uttering a single word but looking forward at the little pup playing with his mother...
Little girl- see the bites of mother don't hurt the baby... Coz she knows the force she wants to use!!
Gabi- and because the little pup knows she is his mother so won't hurt him...
Little girl- that's not the pups mother...
Gabi- wait what?
Little girl- pup is feeling safe because he let the universe come at him.... Pup knows how to believe in things... He believed and got what he lost!!
I saw the mother getting crushed under the wheels of life...
Gabi just listened to her words... Said nothing for a moment..
Gabi- you don't have a house to go... Eh... Lemme drop you to your house safe..
Little girl- you are sitting on my house!! Where you FELL out of your safety...
She smiled looking at him at this moment....

THANKS FOR READING.
This blog feels warm & comforting -my haven ! I'm drawn to the compassion reflected in the author's words- the dearth of which I've really felt in the masses. The author's benevolence is of a great support when I feel I'm being misunderstood.
