I haven’t posted here for a while, but felt the need to get back into posting more regularly. Here is a poem that came to me recently, that I’d like to share.

I created a web page for a friend of mine recently, and shared what I was thinking about our friendship, and after she read all of it, she commented that I think too much.
And she’s right, probably, but I can’t help thinking about things, and especially when it comes to relationships. Do you remember the show “In living color”? The guy that always wrote songs about everything? That’s me; except that I wrote a poem about it. “Wrote a poem about it, wanna here it, here it go”:
Behind her eyes... there exists a depth of knowledge of hurt and pain and abuse Behind her eyes... is hate and love, anger and peace, fear and joy Behind her eyes... is also this unimaginable beauty that, for now, remains hidden from her Behind her eyes... is kindness and compassion and understanding and forgiveness and God, and all things wonderful Behind her eyes... despite all that she has experienced that she never deserved, is this light that will not ever be extinguished Behind her eyes... I can clearly see God in all His beauty, and it's overwhelming to me When, oh Lord, will You introduce her to the incredibly beautiful woman that lives Behind her own eyes Copyright @ 2022 William H.
