Eyes

                          Eyes! Speaking in silent ways

                                  Of life lived and lost,

                                  Being born anew and dying again

                                  In a place of private wars.

 

                                  Eyes! Reflections of the soul

                                  Come alive as in a dream,

                                  Piercing the quiet of the night

                                  To awaken silence once again.

 

                                  Eyes! Piercing the thoughts

                                  Tucked away in secret places,

                                  Untouched for many long years

                                  But seen in a careless stare.

 

                                  Eyes! Shimmering windows

                                  Glowing with twinkling lights,

                                  Raging red with fire

                                  Or wishful as loves last tear.

 

                                  Eyes! Spilling over with life,

                                  Telling all they ever knew

                                  Of living, loving and losing

                                  Along this short bumpy road.

 

                                  Eyes! Loving, searching, caring

                                  For all they grasp or touch,

                                  Wrapping close a heart of warmth,

                                  A soul of deepest caring.

 

                                  Eyes! Filled with knowing wisdom

                                  Gathered in the cobwebs of time,

                                  Projected on gentle living screens

                                  Of blue, green or brown.

 

                                  Eyes! Those radiant mirrors,

                                  Reflect the beauty of life within

                                  An earthbound vessel of God,

                                  Filled to overflowing with love.

           

                                  Eyes! Opened to see, speak

                                  Of eternal life from within,

                                  Given to spread the joy

                                  My Lord has given to me.

 This poetry was shared some years ago. It is part of a small book composed and put together by me. I have a fascination with eyes because they really do speak to me. The next image I am sharing with you was chosen for that reason. I have pulled several images from Pinterest some time ago which gave no mention of the source. These images are for the sole purpose of the eyes and the coloring of the images. They will not be used for any other purpose. 

I have found that if the eyes are not expressive the image does not speak to the person viewing it. Stray hair is also a part of the full image but is difficult to color without the ink bleeding. This image turned out well in that area.
