The pearls we see in another person eyes
The passion we see that has died.
Both consuming and pulling, the onlookers in
Further in
with each silent staring moment.
This is the by-product
That leads to questions.
Questions of our quality of life
Not the length of it
Questions of our dimming passions
Not the measure of it
Questions that scare us
To live fully
Questions that scare us
To die in essence.
Therefore, the eyes
We look deeply into
Is
sometime a smoking mirror of wishing
Other times it’s a reflection
Of what lay dormant in our heart
One time it was what
We feared the most.
Eyes that looked back
Screaming I love you
Shouting you are worthy
Whispering you are not your mistakes.
With eyes wide open
What will you see
With eyes wide open
What don’t you want to be seen…
Your poetry is so meaningful and truthful. Very true our eyes reflect in them all that we willingly and unwillingly see. Deeply beautiful lines!

Thanks My Fair Lady, your comment mirrors back, my intent of giving someone something to think about. Especially since we grew up hearing “eyes are the window to the soul”. and but of course, I plan to stay the course of daily gratitude as you.
