Eyes

Your eyes speak volumes
I wish I could read the meaning behind all the shadow games they play
It was only yesterday, I could fathom some of their depth
They would light up, at the slightest sign of rain
They would sparkle the moment they saw me in the crowd
They would sadden, at the lightest chiding, or a rebuke
Today, I am all lost
The games still set out at the smallest provocation
But hold a different substance
They suddenly light up, sparkle, darken
Only yesterday I could fathom, what’s now a riddle
The crowd grinds the streets to dust
I walk the same road, lost in the same crowd
Looking for an augury of that light
That rhythm of the sunshine and rain
That turned around all misery of the day
But I walk on for miles, nothing beckons me
I remember it was only yesterday I out ran the crowd
To see that sparkle in your eyes
