Forrest Pasky Poet Free verse

Your Heart's Eyes

sometimes

you see what

you want to see

what you need

too see

what your heart

has to see

but your heart’s eyes

have made you blind

then one day you

look in the mirror

and you notice

not so much your

reflection but

the reflection of

the world around

you which is not

what it seemed

and you notice

in this reflection

your reflection

is missing

so fragile is

the nature of hope
