Ina Goodling Poet Rhyme

Eyes of a Saint

Your eyes showed me your heart 
And in them I saw your best 
Those windows, opened wide and bright 
Cast on me their lovely light 
Then my own eyes cried
To see yours closed in rest 

I saw myself inside your eyes 
Like twin phantoms in those clear blue skies 
And it haunted me, my soul to see 
In the eyes of a saint so blessed 
That I had to turn away until 
They closed themselves in rest 

The light in them, now cold and dull 
Was once so bright and beautiful 
As I watched your eyes 
And the light in them die 
As the sun died in the west 
And the skies wept rain eternally 
When your eyes closed, forever, in rest.
