Could it be Something in the Eyes? By: Name of Author Why is it That some people, And not others, possess the ability to listen?
The Tale of Aella By: Darin Bell Long ago in a distant land, a young maiden by the name of Aella had taken a moonlit stroll by the river on the outskirts of town, when she caught her husband caressing another woman she knew all too well. “Agatha! Disclose thy meaning of such treachery!” “Treachery?” Agatha scoffed, “This man has simply been enlightened unto the difference between patricians and plebes.” Heartbroken, Aella turned towards her husband, “Is this true my love? Have you allowed this swindler to make way with your heart?” There was no reply. “I’ve grown tired of you Aella,” Agatha rested a hand upon the man’s breast, “Would you care to cast the wretch aside for me, my sweet?” The man obeyed and hurled his wife into the river without question nor hesitation. And so she was left there on her knees, head hung low, wet from both the mud and her own tears. “Oh gods,” she cried, “Why have thou forsaken me?”
It is something In the eyes, I presume. They are either Vacant or deep.
Like a thin blade, Right between The chambers of Your heart, it is Just strange how that is.
Some eyes just Look right past You without Seeing all that Is within
Is it strange indeed How listening, the art of it, depends upon the eye, and
Your soul, and It is interesting How other’s eyes Seem to pierce You with their vision.
I just wonder Why that is, And I wonder Whether my own eye (For I cannot help but to wonder) Is of that Deep and Truly listening kind.
