The Mystery of Eyes

The Mystery of Eyes I place pen to paper, look into your eyes, How to shadow them to show they’ve just cried, Draw the same circle, a center dark and deep, I look into them, study, and I, too, weep. You are so kind, you sit with patience, While I, an amateur paint with slow cadence, What is the secret to the eyes’ communication? When they change not the spirit’s shaped reflection.

I love this! It's so profound, there is something special about someone eyes, something magical and revealing, and to capture the magic on paper isn't easy.

How to shadow them, to show that they've cried. To me this indicates an artist who does not want to capture anything except the very essence of the mysteries of the magical, mystical eye. I like this so much! When they change not the spirit's shaped reflection, endorses my theory that you are talking about the third eye. KUDOS! Sunlite, this is FANTASTIC!
