Edith D Eutsler Poet I do not know?

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.'
