Uncanny Sense Of Eyes

While Carol tends flowers in her front yard,
birds in nearby trees talk about her hair,
how gleaming red strands would enhance their nests
with soft tenderness of unspoken love.

While Carol digs fingers in the moist soil
to adjust the roots of flowers, Earth worms
discuss the way her eyes gleam in the sunlight,
reflecting how atoms weave neural networks.

While Carol sprinkles fertilizing grains
around trunks of fruit trees, the glossy leaves
of the Satsuma Mandarin Orange tree
sigh at the wordless whisper of her breath.

While Carol sprays water on trees and flowers
of her garden, they all begin to sing
harmonious melodies of aching love
in transcendent choir for her sparkling drops.

Carol looks around at flourishing garden,
leaves, blossoms, and fruit glowing in sunlight,
feeling sudden uncanny sense of eyes
watching the fractal spirals of her soul.

Beams of sunlight slant through branches of trees,
and voices whisper in sudden cool breeze,
so she looks up into shadows of light
and feels surreal sensation of soul flight.

Her phone dings so she checks the messages,
and her eyes widen in sudden surprise
as she reads a message from a young woman
which reads, "I think you might be my birth mother."

Sitting among flowers and butterflies,
Carol cries at the memory of her face,
silver eyes gazing curiously at her
when the old nurse came and took her away.
