Her Eyes

Like the depth of the ocean, they stare into your soul
Mystifying every word that falls from your lips
Cutting through the world with a truth that most cannot understand
Yet holding a softness akin to a rose petal floating on a stream
They draw you in with their majestic beauty and hold you there
Suspended in time and motion
All thoughts transfixed on them
You can see her past, her pain hiding behind them
Buried beneath their luster
Entrenched behind the sparkle that distracts from their presence
Yet still you can see her future
The roads open, and the light shines from within
A future radiating with a brightness that mocks the sun
Her purity, her goodness, her virtue
They are all present in her stare
How I long to be looked upon with those eyes
To be embraced by the compassion they posses
To softly meet their gaze with my own
To allow the dance that ensues to consume our souls
I wish to be present in their memories and their future
To unravel their mysteries
To allow our journey to unfold inside them
And then she blinks….
And the journey begins again.
