Dying Eyes

Glazing and glazing
Eyes that saw the world unfold
Now see only blank schemes

Fading and fading
Eyes that held the ocean views
Now see only still rain

Sinking and sinking
Eyes that span both day and night
Now see only time freeze

Closing and closing
Eyes that gleamed with wild fire
Now see light no more
