The eyes, <br />Are the window, <br />To the soul, <br />What do yours reveal? <br /> <br />When your eyes smile, <br />Are you happy within? <br />Or merely hiding, <br />What lies therein? <br /> <br />Do you blink, <br />To take a rest? <br />Or are you simply hiding, <br />What’s in your chest? <br /> <br />Are you closing, <br />Those windows tight? <br />When you fall, <br />Asleep at night? <br /> <br />Just so you, <br />Can be free to dream, <br />Free to run wild, <br />Next to a stream. <br /> <br />Barefoot and content, <br />Without other eyes, <br />Watching you closely, <br />You look for a disguise. <br /> <br />Do your eyes, <br />Make you feel insecure, <br />Afraid to reach out, <br />Afraid to explore? <br /> <br />Don’t be afraid, <br />Don’t be scared, <br />Your eyes tell others, <br />That you truly care. <br /> <br />So reach out to someone, <br />Look at them dearly, <br />They’ll reach out to you, <br />And feel touched, really. <br /> <br />After all, isn’t that, <br />What life is about? <br />Connecting with others, <br />Removing all doubt.<br /><br />Aisha Sherazi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eyes-3/
