Language of the Unseen

By Brendan Brookens

    When no one else

Sees my feelings

At least

you do.

My brain

Was sundowning.

I got really sad.

You laid on top of my legs

And fell asleep

Showing loyalty.

You have learned to come

to me

When I’m sad.

When no one else

Sees me

You do.

My dog, Sharkey,

Can hear

Can see

Can feel

What no one else

Can hear

Can see

Can feel

You sense me.

My joy

My fear

My tension

This is our

Unspoken Language

The Language of the Unseen
