Dark Eyed Mystery

She didn’t say much

It was a just a look

In that moment exposed

I saw everything

 

A smile led me off track

Purposeful and distracting

Shards of blunted mystery

Sliced through the metaphor

 

Beauty often shines after rain

Life grows beneath the pain

Sunlight might scatter the pests

If untended they often bring death

 

But in that moment revealed

She showed what she chose

To live,
