Mindful Eyes...Left Unspoken

by N J Thornton   May 5, 2005


Mindful eyes, peer through the glass.
Homes of humble people, it is presumed.
Row upon row in a peaceful slumber… so quiet.
Almost hand-painted scenery, perfected shading,
Clean crisp edges – in it’s given place.
There, on the ground, yesterday’s crisp silver sheets lay.
So serene, where worries pass in the still breeze
Or, where dreams are reality, maybe.
Such a place need not exist…
One passing palm urges bounds of shattered ice into the sky.
Bewildered eyes see the not so tranquil land.
The icing falls onto the cake once more, in the bubble of dreams. The dwellings sit upon the mantelpiece…Watched carefully,
But, left unspoken...

*I'm not completely happy about the title. If you have a better suggestion, please let me know.

    Another amazing piece of work! I would think this is about a fantasy of a perfect home and you realize you don't really have to have it. I hope I am close on these poems. Very well done! Take Care! Brooke
