The Age of Eyes

Staring out into cosmic space Sight like flight without boundary Bright like sparkle-ing newborn stars Bearing all in hopes to find grace Deadened by the deep grief of loss Fraught with untamable worries Bloodshot eyes tell of sleepless nights Reddened by tears and endless fears. Dyed in the colors of rainbows Proclaiming youthful innocence Entertaining thoughts far beyond Wide-eyed by delightful surprise Piercing with angry, sharp, daggers Fierce as a mother lioness Colder than absolute zero Holder of your finite future. Glistening with tears of reproach Blink away tears, look down, on the Brink, afraid to live, afraid to die Rippling waves underneath reach all Believing in uncertain hope Dancing the tango with laughter Glancing wonder over shoulders Receiving the same loving look Such a permanent solution And a temporary problem Stand up, head high; brush yourself off Touch your heart and reach for the sky!
