Perception.

Hearing with the eyes.

Perception.

Senses, now four, becomes heightened and acute

Inquisitive little fingers speak where sound forgot to breathe

Lovingly, she forms her words in silent motions with her hands

Each movement a curious dance as her lips purse to a silent rhythm

Noiseless, silent, she imparts her message to the world

Can you hear, see the beauty in my silence

Every worded motion becomes pure poetry!

Acrostic
