You Can See Her In His Eyes When He’s Brave Enough To Open Them. Eyes Are The Window To The Soul You Know But The Soul Has Many Outlets. The Soul Can Escape Through Song And Sweat And Melody. Words Alone Can Be The Vehicle. Rhythmic Words Set To A Stomping Foot And A Resonating Chord Rhythmic Words From A Voice That Shakes But Stays Strong A Voice That Bursts From Some Hidden Wound. His Words Do Not Open The Window To The Soul Nor The Door....His Words Open The Floodgates And The Soul Does Not Make A Quiet Escape. Now We’re In A Room Of Blacked Out Windows And Locked Doors.
