    The Color of Eyes

    The color of eyes is the color of soul
    So much depth, like
    Endless water in Soloam Pool.
    Restored sight to see inside
    Healing does this to the person
    Makes them see clearer
    The color of other’s eyes.

      Oh, I really love this part at the end…

      “Healing does this to the person
      Makes them see clearer
      The color of other’s eyes.”

      Hi, Sharman. Those last lines are my favorite, too. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could see deeper into another’s eyes–to see the soul of who they are? I guess it’s a matter of restoring our own eyes first.

        Yes; healthy “eyes”, healthy insight.

    The colour of eyes
    Is the colour
    Of things unseen
    Of what seems
    to be one thing
    And is quite another
    Where blue is grey
    And green is tawny
    And brown is ocean deep.
