Beyond Sight...

Through my eyes I see a world laid before me. A world of color where many is looked at but less is seen. My “eyes” would see the world, but the world would see only “me”. I wonder what the world would see if they looked in my eyes instead… Would it be the same image they see in “me”? I maybe in pain, but I may cast a smile to the world outside. They will see only my laughter, but not the fire of agony burning in my eyes. I may have committed crime, and maybe helpless though I regret it. I may play an act of innocence trying to believe it never happened, in the effort of starting a new life. But, the guilt in my eyes would give the final verdict which the world would not know unless they seek the truth in my eyes. I may sympathies. But, my words may express very little to be heard. But, the world will not see the kindness in my eyes. Since, the words spoken by the eyes are meant to be felt, not to be heard. They; the world may look at my eyes But, may fail to look into my eyes. Amongst them all you and I may have passed by a many times, but, the moment our eyes meet – what is it that I see? Not a world of color like I have been looking at before.. But, if not for color, how can I see? Now I come to realize that what I see is a world beyond my sight; a world of thought and imagination. What is it I see in your eyes? Trust? love? hatred? sympathy? or depression? You may wonder the same. But, this moment of eye contact would unknowingly provide the answer, taking us away from this world to the deepest depth of the world of thought behind our eyes. But, with one blink we shall come down to earth again- We have not spoken a word, but have communicated a silent message of a million words. As the eyes express suppressed words which are longed to be spoken. After this moment I shall look back and walk away, taking with me the memory of the look in your eyes. I know not whether we shall meet again. But, we share a moment that will last till the end; a journey to a world beyond our sight… - Kushalee Jayawickreme -
