in france: baby

staring down into the child's face.
his cries are muted with wonder.
my smile is prodded into place
with his miniature silence.
that silence could fill a million hearts.

there is no language barrier between us.
a language has yet to command him.
his little wordless language
reminds me of how much we all have in common.

i love him like a mirror.
