A glimpse of recognition,
the spark of attraction,
a look of disdain
or simple curiosity.
Eyes filled with compassion,
The far away look of a dreamer.
Faces speak
without words
and few expressions escape
her steady, knowing gaze.

[I guess 'poets' are pretty much cursed with  
  that 'faraway look of a dreamer'?!]

Yo dear Ida,

I'm a firm believer that you can't tell a book by its cover.

Love Bobby

You are so on the mark. Looks and facial expressions  often belie  the spoken word.

Oh, yes dear Ida. There is such a repertoire of expressions and it is important to learn their interpretation.

Cute and insightful!

Love,
Margherita

Thank you all for reading and commenting.
I've noticed how some people (my daughter for example) seem to be able to almost read minds and know what is going on without conversation. An inherited trait, I believe.

A great deal of insight and information can be gleaned by observing the gesticulations, mannerisms, and facial expressions of others.

Another gem from your pen, Dear Ida

Love from the three faces of Linda

I enjoyed this immensely, Ida.  I like to read mobile faces.  I believe my face is very mobile and easy to read - well, most of the time.  Some faces try to hold their secrets, and I feel uncomfortable and unable to communicate with such people, but, always, always the eyes have it.  You can hide what you like by freezing your facial expressions, except for the eyes . . . they always tell, if you look deep enough.

Yes indeed, much to be read in a face, known and unknown, if you have that ability.  Loved the idea of this.  Very well written and enjoyed.
