These Eyes

These Eyes… I have seen eyes like this before eyes that have cried too many tears eyes that hide too many fears eyes that hold too much hate eyes that seem to always wait. These eyes, these eyes these brilliant eyes eyes that haunt and mesmerize eyes that mirror the soul of civilization eyes without hope, eyes of desperation eyes that look like yours and mine. They’re the eyes of the world eyes of the divine. These eyes, these eyes, these brilliant eyes tell no secrets, tell no lies. In the mirror, there I see the eyes, the eyes of humanity…

Ah, yes, I do see these eyes, and I recognize them and do whatever I can to help the eyes see their real self, not the self the eyes remember in such a vivid, and painful way.

A little of that part of me still remains, but with no hate, fear or desperation. I am a warrior and a survivor, and I thank God for helping me through those dark days. Thank you Caren. Hugs, Susan
