Your Eyes Spoke

Your eyes spoke

More than words

Ever could

Of love and companion

The way your eyes

Turned fiery

When you saw

An injustice

Spoke of

Your passion.

Your eyes

Told the stories

Of bygone days

The way a photograph

Could turn your eyes

To a different time

A different place.

Your eyes spoke

When words wouldn’t

Of kindness, of compassion

Of Anger and hurt

Each emotion written

In your eyes

The way they

Glistened in joy

And when you

We’re laughing

The tears forming

When sorrow

Came an injustice

Someone else’s pain.

Your eyes

Spoke of beauty

Of grace

Of love

And compassion

And painted

In eyes

That laughed

And cried.
