The Power Within


Eyes are capable of so much.

 

They hold back the tears that our worst memories imbed in us.

They have the ability to tell a story without having to speak a word.

They keep in our deepest secrets.

They smile for us even when we don't want to.

 

Our eyes are powerful.

Emotions are bounced around like bolts of lightening within them.

Each strand of color in our eyes holds a secret, a feeling, a story.

 

Eyes are the reason why some of us are afraid to make eye contact.

And they are the reason why we fall in love; the deepest kind of love.
