The Look...



 
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.

  6. So painful. That wordless place can be such an echo in a broken, hollow, trying to forgive heart. My heart goes out to you, Laurel.
