Ambiguity

My spirit wishes to cry,
But my eyes smile and remain dry.

We, humans, can be quite good at hiding our emotions, but when a spirit wishes to cry, perhaps there is a shadow in the eyes, even when they smile. Can see perfectly your ambiguity. Thanks for sharing and your kind comments on my poem. Caroline.

Hi Robert! Enjoyed this (not that your "spirit wishes to cry". This is something that many can identify with. The eyes won't lie, even if they're pushed aside by the smile. Hope all's well with you, and thanks a bunch for your comment. Best to you, Robert, Mikki

I find the need to hide my feelings sometimes, too, Rob. Excellent Crystalline and it's nice to see you posting new work again! Love, Carolyn
