There was a resounding silence,

And the sounds of panics around the little boy,

The heartbeats of his paters now deeply in tears,

And the surprising expression of joy

on the knight's confident

face after he put his hand

on the little boy's chest.

The instant was absolutely the brightest.

It was interestingly the richest,

In emotion, in compassion, in love, in mindedness.
