Steel Eyes
A. Cusano
Steel eyes and a melancholy gaze,
She's swaying to a silent melody.
Somewhere lost in that secret mind.
She has no idea if someone sees her at all.
Someone once said she’d float alone forever.
So she drifts through life like a raft adrift.
Storms at sea; thrown to and fro.
Swaying as the waves threaten to drown her.
She’s never been afraid, just stares at the sky.
Skies stormy and clouded like her eyes.
Silently gazing, swaying to a silent song.
Someday you’ll look back at her.
Secretly wishing you had said anything at all.
Steel eyes and a melancholy gaze.

The imagery captures emotional isolation in such a powerful way. I really resonate with that feeling. I loved the rhythm and how nature reflects how we move through the world. Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing ❤️
