Speaking Eyes
As I looked into the eyes
of one that was smiling,
my heart
fell a part.
Leaving only the eyes to speak.
His soul looked back at me
and said for certain,
through those eyes,
'I am hurting.'
The thoughts, the cancer, which
changes life,
sweeps through to fill the soul
with strife-
Leaving only the eyes to speak.
The tears that want to wash the
invader away,
only flow when the eyes can't
find words to say.
Hope keeps the soul from closing
the door,
but faith holds the key
for-ever-more.
Leaving only the eyes to speak.
They are always searching for that
ray of light,
to say,
" Everything is going to be all right.'
