Soulful

Her sad smile left nothing to be said... it seeped into my heart perpetuating my devotion... my love for her.
It is amazing to me still that a look can stir up all that is in you... carry you off to the deepest.. darkest place
you have ever been.
Its effect is lost on so many I suspect. Heartless souls who have closed the doors behind them, not allowing
their past access to their present. No doubt there are many as well who are simply unable to relate, those
with gifted lives.. unscathed.. untouched by the cold, scaly claws of true misfortune.
But alas, for those of us joined with loss.. the effect is contagious. We reflect the sadness, reliving it, feeling
it wash over us as its projected in our faces, the smile replaced however with true feeling, and we know
that besides a shoulder in which to cry on, gentle support as well as a little space to work through thoughts.
Is all we can offer, combined with the knowledge that she is fully understood, without the agonizing ordeal of
choking on words and tears.
