My Eyes

My eyes are full with wonderment and love When'er I see the beauty fixed above - The sun, the moon, the planets in their train The clouds which grow, and pregnant with sweet rain. And then to see the birds within the trees When building nests amongst the rustling leaves - There are so many treasures to behold The sky at dawn with colours tipped with gold. And thus at even-tide when darkness falls Are shadows falling soft upon the walls - And stars that glisten bright in night's embrace I'm so entranced to see this grand showcase. My eyes then held you in the morning light And so again to bid a sweet goodnight - Through all the stormy days that we once knew I felt, with tender heart, the love of you. My eyes are also windows to my soul So urging for your heart to full console - When I am in the depths of deep despair I long to see a sign that you still care. My eyes now search the love you once did hold Yes, even though you rest with aspect cold - I look with hopefulness to see a sign A sign that tells me you are yet still mine. ©️22/9/2024 Valerie Dohren
