The Air is Not Enough
The twinkles in their eyesblur the definition
they become shiny glass
so breakable but so beautiful
Their faces so soften
mouths quivering
between a gut-wrenching smile
and a sob
There is so much
the hands cannot hold it
the heart cannot bare it
The air is not enough
Nothing can hide
all is betrayed in the rasp of their voices
the delicacy of their faces
the gentlly, slightly controled fire in their skin
They show me what it looks like
They show me what it could be like
How easy it is for them..
For as I courageously allow my glassy gaze to find Him
He does not see me.
