She’s Found Wings!
She thought to see
into his eyes
to see what she might surmise
but to her surprise
not a thing there
but dull dead eyes
no laughter
that she could see
no hint of love or forbearance there
only the dull dead stare…
No light
or the slightest smile
no music
that made those eyes dance awhile
no recognition
of the time they’d spent
how they had loved
or where it went
the eyes were dull
and very spent
she’d lived in emotional poverty
a fresh spring breeze has come
she’s found wings
