Poetry: Mysterious things

by Nicole Smith

Created on: July 29, 2008

I can't explain it
Like the rest of the world

It's just another
Mysterious thing
Added to my list.

It doesn't take a lot
To find them
To pick them out of the crowd.

All it takes
Is a pair of open eyes

To see the lover
Who's faded away

To see the repeat
In a new relationship

To see a broken heart
Or a broken family

To see reborn hope
In someone's eyes

To see all these things
Before they happen

A strange promise
That they'll come.

What a mysterious thing
To live in a world
Of blindfolded people
Who choose to keep
Their eyes closed.
