Precious Eyes

Precious eyes Your window to the world at large Window to the soul, your inner light. What you see Is what you choose to perceive To see beauty will make your soul dance Making you want to express it with your life To see ugliness will make your soul branded, Burning it with fear, diminishing its light. What you feel Is what you receive Through the window of your eyes To feel love will make your soul dance Making you want to express it with your life To feel rejected will make your soul branded Burning it with fear, diminishing its light. What you meet Is what you study Through the window of your eyes To meet interest will make your soul dance Making you want to express it with your life To meet lies will make your soul branded Burning it with fear, diminishing its light. Precious eyes, When you are a child What you see brands you for life Love makes your soul dance Anger brings fear, your soul apprehended. Precious eyes As your life ripes Choose to see at a glance What makes your soul dance When ugliness is seen at a glance Distortion of truth is at hand Look deeper till you see beauty Let the beauty heal the burns Fear that have caused your soul upturned. Precious eyes Your window to the world at large Window to the soul, your inner light. By CarolineCecile Copyright © 07.19.11
