A GLANCE

What is contained in a glance,

That fleeting connection of eyes?

 

A glance can speak all languages,

Conveys a dictionary\'s worth of words,

 

Bestows acknowledgement on another,

Can show one respect, or disdain,

 

Establishes a connection with like-kind,

A feeling both instantly comprehend,

 

Lets another person know at once if

This one dare be trifled with,

 

Are they open to a friendly exchange,

Or might prefer to be left alone.

 

A lengthy conversation without words

Does a simple glance contain.
