Love it! ! ! ! ! ! The best thing about taking a break from this board, is coming back and finding new and wonderful works.
I agree Val, with most of the comments below. This is a wonderful poem. For many, the words do not come out anymore, but thoughts shine through their eyes. You state it so beautifully, our feelings appear on our face. Even if we cannot share the stories, the memories, they are still so much alive. I am so sure that the person feels it very much if someone notices his or her inside stories and it makes them truly happy. The person noticing must a person with the warmest of empathy herself. I love this poem.
A lovely poem, enjoying it's rhythm throughout, yes eyes are the index of the mind and person. Behind those darkling eyes you are imagining the sweet or eventual memories.
I like your style of writing on this poem. It grabs the attenti0on of the reader.

No one knows what is hidden behind those eyes, sometimes, we can only live in hope but may never see the reality. Emotionally filled.....keep it up!
