In Your Eyes
By Laura Zucca-Scott
We are scattered in the wind
Words of wisdom unheeded
Laughter silenced by pain
We struggle every day
To understand
To see
A lightning strike does not make a storm
But what does it take
To call it a tempest?
Is it the courage
Of a day
The resilience
Of a century
Please, don’t leave
In your eyes
Rests my hope
This is so easily relateable to me, especially right now! Beautifully written, and though brief it packs a punch of emotion.
The last line says it all. Lovely.
