The Trail
Two eyes
watched me walk a road
once and twice and more
Those two eyes
asked two feet to follow
pricked and hurt..oh..no
Those two eyes
saw the pain in the mirror
my face that owned it all
Those two eyes
saw through lines that sprung
rolling tears or stretched lips
Those two eyes
batted the lids shut and wide
awed me just by cloning the lines
Your two eyes
watched me walk a road
once and twice and more
dear little one, I know well
you are the trail and I did it all !
