Soulful Eyes
There are times I look into the eyes of a person I’ve just encountered.
Maybe I was introduced by a mutual friend.
Maybe I just happened to be standing behind them in the line for a snow cone.
It is when I am standing in line for a snow cone,
that I am even more likely to think that it is such an odd coincidence,
given that I very seldom get a snow cone.
After all it is just a scoopful of ice with sugary syrup.
In those instances, I really let myself think that it must be some kind of truly cosmic,
truly transcendent,
magical,
spiritual moment.
In the brief moment allotted to me, our eyes meet.
I feel my vision travel at warp speed deep,
deep into this the snow coner’s heart,
then circling and resting for a split second that feels like an hour
into the sweet comfort of that person’s very soul.
I feel that person’s humanity,
And that person’s love for life,
The person’s energy bursts forth and informs my vision that this indeed is a very,
very special person.
