happiness
in blog on 12.05.2021

how do you know? I asked
in response
to the random stranger
who had made the statement
as I shopped for pickles
the soul, you see, he replied
speaks through the eyes
your eyes are the voice of your soul
and in your eyes, I see
the rare light you have
not harsh
not blinding
warm
like a candle
your eyes are happy
because your soul is happy
and that’s why I said
you are a very happy woman
I am right, no?
yes, I replied
to the heavily accented stranger in the store
you are right
