Those Eyes

By Sharon Mohan

Those eyes yearn for a place;

where her tears are counted,

And her wearies rest; 

Where her pain is eased,

And her ache is soothed;

where her nerves are calmed

 down,

And her heart bleeds no more;

Those eyes crave for a place,  

Where her worth is much more than dust; 

And her words stand a chance,

Where her choices matter;

And her decisions remain,

Where her independence is celebrated,

Where her existence is considered,

And her presence respected;

Those eyes long for a place, 

Where her emotional wounds are cared for;

And her trauma alleviated,

Where her mind is treasured;

And her essence honoured,

Those eyes thirst for a place;

Where her mind is without fright, 

And her spirit finds a safe place; 

Where her soul refreshes in solitude, 

And her heart finds a home;

Where her being is adored,

And her spirit admired;
