    Side by side

    THE EYES

    THE EYES

    THE EYES

    When he came down from the platform
    And walked out,
    Everyone clapping,

    His eyes as he passed her were proud
    And shy of being proud

    And glad she was there.
    She was a lightning photographer
    Handed the secret of storms.
