So beautiful! "Untranslatable soul" is a brilliant description. And you so perfectly captured that mystery and profound gift of being able to understand that soul and heart -- as you say "by instinct" and by looking in their eyes. Really lovely poem.

What a perfect little nugget of Truth. Thank you!

The way you've kept this short and compact makes it intense. I especially love the two- and three-word lines. Very nice.
I agree about the intensity of this little poem- so well done!
Soul speaking to soul in a universal language--you captured it perfectly, succinctly. Very nice.
A fine, bright image, just right.
Instinct serves us well and our eye's always give us away. Lovely!
Juliet,
Yes indeed, a look can transend all the words. Well put!

Split Ends - glad you like the very short lines! This poem is so short the lines had to be very short!
flows so smoothly
Particularly like
"your heart

in your eyes."
Short and eloquent.
