Image result for myself in your eyes

I can see myself ... There, in the draft of your eyes, Not ... the reflection.

I like it, Gregory. A suspense piece.

Thank you so much, Line! I don't think I succeeded with this one .... I was trying to get across the idea of seeing yourself in another's soul - in the glint of their eyes, rather than just in the reflection - but it came across differently somehow. I find that fascinating, though, that different people get different things from the same piece ... so cool, the words we throw around! :-) <3

Thank you so very much, Kim ... I was aiming at something different, (as I explained to Line), but I love that people find other things sometimes ... that fascinates me! Blessings, Dear Friend! :-) <3
