By LAURA SHARP

We speak a language of eyes,
Conversing without words,
Perceiving without speaking,
Sharing humor and curiosity.
Is it only my imagination,
A story of wanting to be known?
A fiction of desired insight
Or truly a friend observed?

Laura Sharp is an accountant by day, obsessive cross-stitcher by night, and a mom of two hyperactive children 24/7. She and her husband Philip hail from a cozy house in Ohio, where they can be surrounded by verdant farmland without having to actually do any farming.
