A Bond Without Words

 A Bond Without Words 

They say beasts don’t understand love,

but her crumb-filled fingers knew better.

No words, just offerings

soft circles of wheat and trust.


The earth stood still

as two heartbeats knelt in opposite skins

one in a linen frock,

the other draped in dusk and dust.


She didn't flinch.

The world hadn't yet whispered fear into her bones.

To her, horns were not threats,

they were just crowns without thrones.


The eyes across her

were wells deep, old, gentle.

She looked in, not away.

And something passed...

Not sound, not thought

something softer.


If the wind could speak,

it might've said:

"This is what we forget."


Later, they will teach her to recoil,

to pull back the hand

before it ever feels warmth in a wild breath.

They will lace her spine with caution,

tie her ribs with logic.


But for now

she feeds the silence with biscuits,

and the silence thanks her in return.


No growl, no bark, no name.

Only a pact that is unwritten, unbroken

between a girl who hasn’t learned to fear,

and a soul the world no longer looks in the eye.


---Swej Priya
