...and so he said, "See what you have done!"

...and the child believed.

...and her heart cried in silence as she searched for a way to let the child know he had not been to blame at all. That what one mans reality appears to be is only in his head and not truth at all.

...and so the child opened his eyes to see the truth that he was not to blame but couldn't seem to fully take hold of it as the man's words were sent with such force and anger. For the child is frail and now the truth appears lost and floats into the atmosphere adrift, once again.





...and as she said good bye to her son, she turned back to ask if he knew for certain that he was not to blame for what happened.

...and so the boy smiles and says he knew all along what was truth but sometimes it is a hard thing to recognize when the assault is upon him.

...and so the lanky boy bends down and hugs her and her heart was glad. They now shared a secret that would build a bond, one they both needed as they continue to subsist.
