green eyes

my eyes have been unusually green today
why, i'm not certain.
generally speaking
my eyes remain large and dark
as to overtake
and partake
of the events and emotions of the day.
but today,
the green shone through
as to reflect the beauty
i felt
and saw
in the sunshine and life.
words were left unwritten
emotion undealt with.
yet breezing past a mirror
i saw in my own eyes
an aching
for a pair to reflect my own
that would understand
the beauty
in the quiet simplicity
of today.
