She Looked At You She stood quite quiet, she emoted cool Just one look at her, yes, nobody's fool; Her temper soothing, her demeanor so calm She was restful to see, no uttered qualm… But when she looked at you… First, you're taken in by her eyes of green Fine lined wrinkles of smiles often seen And straight-away she gazes at you so steadily Right back into your eyes, as your soul she sees… Next, her body is perfect, for a woman her age, You can see she's been hugged, perhaps walked a stage; No airs nor swagger, nor feminine wiles She's solid, not stolid, she'll go many more miles. But when she looked at you… There was something about her, it was in the air Not a forbidden scent no, something beyond compare, Yes, something about her, yes, you may think… Ah, it was when she caught your soul, with her quiet wink. She stood there poised, but just on the brink She watched your face, and knows what you think; Quiet contemplation, with face quiet serene But the wink brought forth to mind, a laughing queen. So when she looked at you… She made you quite pleased to be in the same room you caught yourself without your ever present gloom, She lit up your life, more than you liked to think From all that she gave you, one quick little wink. 22 November, 1999 ©KRJ Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow.

Karilea, my friend~ I could not help but remember this one. It reminded me of both my mother and my great grandmother .... and then ... November of last year, I shared it with my daughter ... she said it reminded her of ME ! I was so touched .... she printed it out and framed it and gave it to each of her brothers. They are all convinced that you and I MUST know each other ! Thank you for posting it again. Love you, my friend. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Nice poem, i enjoyed reading it very much and understand perfectly how body language can dictate more than speech some of the time . L.of.L. Tom . Insanity is a perfectly normal responce to an abnormal world -R.D.Laing.- |

Marge, it was because of your e-mail that I thought perhaps, just perhaps, this should be a submission for Voices... Tom, glad you saw it in your mind... Yes, Tracie, we can all see her, can we not? Thanks... Sudhir, thank you... Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |
