Piercing blue, cutting deep
wordless stare
permeating my soul;
Curled lip, pursed tight
wordless disgust?
wrenching my gut;
Hollow arms, busy now
wordless work
leaving me desolate;
Bitter heart, arrows deep
wordless sorrow
forming forgiveness;
Aging eyes, piercing blue
wordless words
and still, the look.
Laurel. Thinking again.

I can only guess at the emotions that ,au lie behind that stare, that you describe so piercingly.
ReplyDeletethat does not feel like a very comfortable look at all...smiles...well built inyour description though...
ReplyDeleteSo painful. That wordless place can be such an echo in a broken, hollow, trying to forgive heart. My heart goes out to you, Laurel.
