The Fire in Your Eyes
What does it tell me?
It tells me you’ve lived fully and richly, regardless of the
year you were born…
It tells me you’re a fighter who will never, ever,
be “down for the count…”
It tells me your soul has its dark side,
rich and verdant like the most fertile of soils…
It tells me your heart is pure and true and even though
it has been broken, its beat is steady and strong…
It tells me you’ve been hurt and sometimes try
to hide that hurt with anger like we women often do…
It tells me you’ve been loved and are loved and return
that love with the fervor of one possessed…
It tells me you are utterly fearless and, like a lioness,
fiercely protective of those close to you…
It tells me your spirit is as deep as the ocean, as wide
as the sea and burns as hot and as bright as the fire in those eyes…
This is for Kira Dawn, Gurpreet Dhariwal, Suzanne V. Tanner, Robin Klammer, Caroline de Braganza, Desiree Driesenaar, Dawn Bevier, Helen Cassidy Page, Kristi Keller, Chris Hedges, Bebe Nicholson…
