Eyes

Eyes from a distance reveal the man
  Strengths, weaknesses, gauged and scanned…

Close-up, they open upon the soul
  Plunged in mystery ~ Pupils of coal

Dark eyes are the most mysterious - and I married a man with dark eyes, so I know!

From a distance eyes can see only the corporeal structure of a man. But the inner eye penetrates into the man... into his soul ! Profound thoughts dear friend !
