Starlight

based on a prompt in my creative writing class.

They say

Eyes are the window to the soul

And I saw a soul

Yesterday

A shade of grey

Poignant, vibrant

Asked me with kindness

If they could borrow my notes

I said yes

With Gratitude that night

I gave it to them

They blinked thank you

I blinked back a heart

I liked that.

It made me feel

Happy.

One of my favourite things to do

Is to see a person’s eyes

So I can see them as they are

Not superficially but

Inter-mindedly, on the inside

Where the judgements

Don’t appear

Where the mind is

Bare

Like a Bear

That learned how to

Cook.

With a look I can see

Feelings brought to the

Surface

Like bubbles on the

Seashore

Full of

Sadness or

Satire.

Sometimes I see

Stars.
