Bette Davis Eyes-Kim Carnes

I had a very interesting day today....as you can imagine...a carousel of ups and downs.
I saw my VERY best friend in the car in front of me on the way to work. But she was going home from dropping off her kid at school...and I was ...on my way to WORK.

We used to talk on the phone EVERY single morning...but now that I have been chained to a job that requires actual duties and a set schedule...I am unable to keep up my morning ritual that had lasted for 8 years.

We live just a few houses away from eachother...and always spoke on the phone...never face to face. Gosh...who needed to see our sorry faces at the early hours we were keeping! We could hear ambulances turning the corner...towards eachother's houses...teenage parties going on in our yards on summer nights. Yet, rarely gazed into the eyes.

Eyes are important...the key to the soul...the heart...the imagination.
Now during our late afternoon converstations...that have replaced our morning chats...I am tired.
I have had events change my mood...and she has kids coming in from school...with dinner to make.
I don't do DINNER.
My eyes are beat...my soul...heart...and part of my imagination.

Maybe I need GLASSES!
........to clarify my priorities.


Shadows cast down...under the lids

Aging,
Tiring,
Bewildered...EYES

By the end of a day...in mirrorless situations

Black on Black,
Running with a silent scream,
People defined....by EYES

Emotions are often hidden...

Or given away...

through my EYES


Eye of the Tiger, Eye of the Storm, Eye to Eye,
The "Eyes" Have It, Eye...Eye, Apple of My Eye
