Faded Blue Eyes
By: Felix Perry
Bitter sweet tears in our hearts, we keep hidden
Along with private sad memories, we’ll never share
Despair dwells in the darkest of darkness
Secret misery, that we keep locked away there
So, we walk in the daylight to sweet summer music
We smile and laugh like someone who’s content
Dutifully count our blessings instead of our failures
Watch the world and wonder where our time went
No one truly saw or captured the passing transition
The lost sparkling twinkle in our faded blue eyes
Time can cloak the diminishing sorrow of heartache
…and it’s true how quickly time flies
No one will ever know the rhyme or the reason
Maybe not even how often our blue eyes cried
When our time runs out it won’t really matter
Part of our story were tears on pillows that dried…
Your words and expression are beautifully sad..
I really identify with all you’ve written, for me, losing my life partner and Soul
Mate, was one of the most difficult things to bear…but finding balance
over time can help…
I find there are times for these painful introspections, and also a time
of concentrating on life now…and the futures we can see sparkling in our
Grandchildren’s eyes…they need us so much to help them light the way
to a better future…
Sending Love and comforting thoughts…
The Sun is shining so brightly this morning her in the UK..
I hope it is for you too…

I remember a time that I suddenly burst out crying for no apparent reason, so I understand where your emotion has come from. I have even documented that moment in one of my poems "I'm Not Being Myself".
I think we all have moments that we feel like the one you have described, but nothing is too serious to be dwelling on it because you are still around and being healthy - that's all it counts - to live fully, one day at a time; and we are the ones who design how we are going to live for the rest of our lives.
