Blue Eyes Blue

By Bud Koenemund

For K.

I see the sadness hidden in your eyes;
A pain you try to bury, which lurks still;
Nearer the surface than you know; disguised,
Yet visible; lingering ‘gainst thy will.
Heartbreak and loneliness are compounding
Sorrows; breeding doubt; confusing every
Setback with tragedy; poisoning
The soul. But, trust time will dull memory,
Allowing you to heal. Made whole once more;
Emerging stronger; by love enfolded;
The gleam renewed in those sapphire orbs –
Shining like sunlight thawing Winter’s cold.
   My intent is these verses bring delight;
   A smile, if brief, to draw day from night.
