Quiet Ways~~~

Sometimes, the silence says more

than the words we speak

And yet, we often think of quiet people

uninteresting and weak

Perhaps, we need to look into their eyes

for therein lies

the depths of their soul…

 

Many words are spoken

in a fleeting glance

revealing a kaleidoscope

of emotions, perchance

A heightened brow

a seductive look

can recite more poetry

than is found in books

 

Pensive eyes look long and hard

at crossroads in conversations

They pause to digest carefully

each viewpoint and variation

Often, deep in thought

they see beyond the spoken word

then, deliberate with truth and wisdom 

of that which was once blurred

 

Smiling eyes light up a room

warmth sparkles from within

Their purpose is to give

and then, to give again

Without a sound

their message is clear

that love is alive

and thriving here

 

Angry eyes are dark and brooding

squinting and challenging all

but sometimes, hidden beneath the anger

is a teardrop waiting to fall

A tear that slowly falls

from downcast eyes

may sometimes go unnoticed

forever lost mid the angry cries

 

In today’s world of hustle and haste

We sometimes forget those

who dance to a slower pace

But don’t dismiss their quiet ways

For though they may not be outspoken 

or flamboyant throughout their days

hidden treasures lie just beneath the surface, I am sure

just waiting for someone to explore~~~

 

Can you dive to the depths

of my emerald gaze

Sail away with me

and day by day

learn to appreciate my quiet ways…
