Through life we rely

on spoken words

to satisfy demands,

to debate and to learn,

sometimes not realizing

that the eyes often speak

louder than words —

a fire within when sparked

makes desires of heaven and earth

begin to burn.

 

The eyes are the mirrors

of the heart,

beckoning understanding —

offering an invitation

to explore deep within,

to touch the soul,

and know the whole

and not just a part —

to trace the spirit

from its origin.

 

When two understand

that in silence,

the magnets of the eyes

bring all things together

in common affirmation —

words taught by man

are no longer needed,

only time and space

to feel rhythms

and the sensitivity

to understand

the unspoken vibration.
