Eyes

Eyes

They have been called the window of the soul

Every day I see many eyes

Blue, brown, green

And eyes that seem to change

Moment by moment

Eyes that are joy full

Eyes that are rimmed with tears

What do those eyes

Those tears say

For in their silence they are not silent

Through the eyes one can see the soul

The anguish

The hope

In some eyes one’s sees a rich feast of emotions

In others fullness

Yet some eyes

Are dark

Like a window looking out on a moonless night

There is emptiness there

And despair

What is it Lord that has

Darkened that soul

Left it barely flickering?

Yes Lord, the darkness never wins

When your love is present

Help me lord

To to reach out

To care

To listen

To bring back the light

In those eyes

And in doing so

Bring back the light in my own
