(Poem) The Eyes

It's all in the eyes
- the emotions
the eyes -- the skylight of the soul

We heed words-
And read thoughts
behinds words
When all the while
In clear sight
are the EYES

The Eyes - that tweet all...
the pain and the pleasure
the suffering and the grit
the doubt and the conviction
the ecstasy and the despair
the cruelty and tranquility
the hunger and the ecstasy
The belligerence and benignity
the triumph and the regret
 the warmth and the vulnerability
the fire to fight
the serenity of surrender

If only we could read faces
instead of words ...
