Reflections of the Soul

They say the eyes of a person tell you their tall tale Strong hopes that make any mountain able to scale Happiness they seek, the anguish that leave them frail Dreams that keep them trying, fighting tooth and nail Reflections that glitter to reveal the purity they show Dark as a charred soul, or white as fresh fallen snow Sparkling as the night sky with stars of a bright glow All as clear as a glistening river during its spring flow Everyone has a story to tell, with a soul so tightly knit We find our way, or we fall into our own deep dark pit Choosing our own way, whether we should try or quit But not everyone can see, if you believe, it will all fit Look deep within someone, tell them what you see Some are lost inside; with answers that they let flee Left confused about life, to cry out a desperate plea Maybe what you tell them can finally set them free With wings that carry them to the endless blue so high Freedom to seek vividly, left with only a breath to sigh Questions never to be answered, only pondered why Amazing it is to see what you will find in a human eye
