There was something in his gaze that touched me.

So quietly present, so full of trust, asking for nothing.

 

I painted him slowly, layer by layer,

as if he could choose when he wanted to be seen.

 

I folded his hands without reason -

just because it felt right.

As if he found rest, just sitting there.

 

Maybe this isn’t protest.

Maybe it’s simply a child being entirely himself.

And that is already enough.
