They know not the world around them
They see and hear through the stained glass
of vision and sound that rushes into their minds,
like an unstoppable
wave on the sea.

They understand, in their own world,
What is meant by words and the actions around them
more than most can or will know,
and are blessed with the innocence
of a fallen dove.

They need and want,
just as we do,
the love and affection of others
and the compassionate understanding
of the people they know are their safe place…
They are as we hope to be–
free to live….and experience what secrets life holds…
