thought provoking ku, Carolyn ... dark glasses do mask the mystery of the eyes they are shielding ...

Reviewed on February 25, 2007
The companion to this compelling thought is the one in the Psalm that speaks of words being like butter, but war rages in the soul.

An intense three liner marked by dark, mask, burning and fearless. Now that last adjective intrigues. Normally it's stark, prestine or crystal clarity, but fearless? Can a burning soul fearlessly exhibit itself? If so, why the dark eyeglasses? These are rhetorical questions derived from a teasing write.

I often wonder about those who wear dark glasses indoors. Your words hint at a deeper meaning, Carolyn. Thank you. Love and peace,

Nice ku, Carolyn. I think the idea of the dark glasses covering the Burning Soul even amidst fearless clarity is a good one. It's simply smart to blanket the soul.
