I was lost in the depths of my loneliness Drifting on a darkened sea The light of day a fleeting hope And love a lost memory Then I saw your eyes and shadows brightened Laughter echoed through the dark I saw your eyes so full of passion Shining softly through my heart And sunlight shimmered in the darkness Like a light across the sea Bringing me home out of the shadows Where you are waiting patiently I saw your eyes like loves own beacon Calling out across my pain I saw your eyes with joy uplifting And I know how much I've gained |

A beautiful poem, Paula! The eyes are the mirrors of the soul. And if the soul is beautiful and full of love, who can resist?! Love and hugs, Lizzie "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

A wonderful poem of rescue and reckoning! Mmm, mmm, mmm! I do love to read about finding the best things in life. And, I believe, love is THE best thing. This flowed beautifully and held me from title to end. |
