Lend Me An Eye

Lend me an eye so I can see. 

My eyes have cried for to long to observer the wonderment that is the world around me. 

When I look at you, in your eyes I see purity. 

How clearly you absorbed, how vividly you perceive. 

There is still a mystery in the universe that only you notice. 

From the way the leaves shift shades in the loom of October, to the way winters pallet glimmers across the cool suns horizon. 

There is an artistry in your stare. 

You gaze outward and look within, with beautiful coating you become a witness to the world of innocents. 

Oh the eyes of a child. 

Oh the simple soul of a babe. 

Lend me an eye so I too can witness splendor again
