Because, they hide those lines that betray my age.
and silence everything my eyes have to say.
Because, through dark sunglasses clouds appear defined,
and no-one need know, the Sky occupies my mind.
Because I get to read you and the life you lead,
An anonymous spy fulfilling an unspoken need.
Because in the watching of you and all that I see,
I hope no more , than to discover a little of me.

Sunglasses do feel like protective gear for so many different reasons. Great poem! :)
