Eyes locked on to one another,
and as brown gazed upon grey,
I saw something,
something I did not possess,
a light that I wanted for myself,
there was no hint of the well of despair that I had seen countless times before,
nor thinly veiled wrath,
or barely stifled pain,
there was a serenity I had never seen before,
eyes that belonged to one who walked peacefully,
there was no storm of emotion for them to navigate,
nor was there the vacant desert that I saw in the eyes of self proclaimed...
