Someday perhaps you will be able to see past the smiles that slowly appear every moment that you are near
and maybe you will gaze deeper into emerald eyes that seemingly happen to come alive and sparkle at the sound of your laughter floating in the air
but now you're too busy to have a care while taking time to blaze your own trails across night time skies
swinging from stars as evenings slip by
Carefree, so happily
to enjoy;
this is your purpose because you refuse to look below the surface.
Are you afraid that you will see the tears you left behind when you took off to go searching for whatever it was that you were hoping to find?
I prayed for some of that stardust to fall down on me from heavenly hues so that for a few seconds I might shine bright enough for you to view
the person that lies beyond the one that you have chosen to see
but rather that you may peer into the soul
of the real me.
Give me your heart Make it real Or else forget about it...Santana

so oft, we tend to see people how we want them to be, rather then to allow their identity to become us and them...sometimes, people fear...looking deep into the heart and souls of others, perhaps b/c they are afraid of what they might find out about themselves...so, they tend to sleep, pretending those they are close to, are seen, only as they allow themselves to see...and to, perhaps, fear the capabilities of your identity?
Hugs to you for a very deeply penetrating poem...thought provoking, isn't it?

Oh, this got me good only because this is something I have to forgive myself for:
Are you afraid that you will see the tears you left behind when you took off to go searching for whatever it was that you were hoping to find?

This touched my heart, Donna. I have been on both sides. I hate to admit that, but it's true.
thanks for sharing your heart with us, Sweetie. Hugs,
