Never Before Seen In Eyes That Sparkle Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The teaching of one accustomed,
To hiding in the shadows
That a reaching for stars,
Will lift a broken heart
To begin a mending,
That slowly ends
A feeling of desperation.
Does more for the confidence,
Of the one who convinces.

Something witnessed,
Flourishes with encouragement.

And the dawn
That removes a darkness once held
Sheds with a renewed freshness
That inspires two,
In a development of a closer relationship.
Unexpected.
A light never before seen in eyes that sparkle,
Is felt.
And a melting so obvious becomes shared.

Something witnessed,
Flourishes with encouragement.
