Woman with Blue Eyes

I worked at the Hospital in the geriatrics ward. Many times at night the specters of the lost souls and long dead would visit my mind and spirit, and I ...only wanting to comfort their wanderings; consoled them in their confusion and loss.

But the one who followed and showed the most need was the woman with the blue eyes.

Imagine that the only thing of color was her eyes. The rest shades of grey and black...even her clothes from the 1600's were colorless, without exact form and only her eyes were clearly visible , those strange luminescent blue eyes, seeking …Something.

 The prescience was usually felt just around 3am ...first it settled in like tendrils of smoke or dense fog. Then her outline became the form, the shape in my peripheral vision. As she materialized in form shimmering below the waist, her thoughts became quite clear. She was looking for the man in the red waistcoat. Her vision of him hung in the air like a sign from the times, a tavern sign reading the Unicorn Inn. It unfurled a flag as well of the gentry of that age, marking where the Duke had lodgings for his compatriots, a safe place to stay while doing the Kings business. At this point I surmised that the lack of color in her surroundings was due to the time span she was reaching from, and that it may have been difficult for her to remember the exactness of the Inn. I had heard that the amout of energy the poltergeist had to expend was exponentially in contrast to the time elapsed …and the age of the materializations.

 Hence…the older the time the more difficult to produce the shared vision, but the intensity of the Blue Eyes  …was evidently a marker in their emotions.

At this point in time I succumbed to the insistent prodding’s to my psyche. She and He had unfinished business, or rather let me say they had continued roles to play in each- others Karmic lives. I postulated that the two were interlinked in either a love affair or other strong link that had been severed suddenly without knowledge or time to complete the bonds. In the astral realm I questioned Her, and this story came forward.

The eyes tell such great stories, dont they?

I was completely absorbed into this story. I couldnt stop reading. It was like something from Alfred Hitchcock. I loved it. The suspense and intrigue was in perfect harmony.

Quite intriguing concept and I'd like to see how this pans out. Its eerie and haunting and has that type of allure that isn't malevolent, at least yet. I'm not sure as to whether or not you will romanticize the concept or if you'll add a bit more of the macabre to it. A wonderful start though that has me hooked!

Flawless...

Well...my mother had one blue eye and one green eye. Naturally my only sister has blue eyes and I, of course, have green eyes. Aside from that...I am a Hospice volunteer. I once asked the Hospice nurses on the Hospice wing at the hospital if they believed angels and ghosts lived on the wing. "Oh yes," they said. Boy do I have some stories. Very nice piece.
