What I See

In your eyes there are many things I see There’s heartbreak and pain and a long dark night A beating heart of gold looking at me There is also beauty, a forceful light I see your strength, your spirit young and wild Your dedication for those that you love The forgotten dreams of your inner child How your eyes twinkle like the stars above I see your faded trust, lost through the years Your prison of doubt in the morning dew Turmoil and pain in many hidden tears But in all of this, I can still see you I see a soul that’s magical to me Each time that I look, this is what I see 6/22/2021 Contemporary Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsor: Charlotte Puddifoot
