Secret windows...

'What do we see in the eyes of another?'

-The Puppet Master

It is not frequently that we take some time to gaze upon the depths of another person’s eyes. There is so much we’re missing…

We can speak to someone else for a long time, yet it is in our human nature to avoid getting captivated by the pitch black of someone else’s pupils for a single minute.

The eye is not just an organ living beings use to ‘see’. It is an orb which can help in the studying and observation of our surroundings, and also our prey.

Some eyes are a garden of hope for those who desire to be rescued. Others are darting children ever ready to capture everything around them in their web of memories. Some eyes are orphans begging for battles to finish. Yet, they can also be a watery grave for non-corresponded love. A myriad colors adorn these, fooling us like the shades in different blooming flowers. Thousands of muscle fibers help control the black hole, the empty valve we call the pupil. It is a solemn cavern leading to the unknown depths of our thoughts. It sometimes grows, just as uncontrolled desire and lust. It sometimes shrinks in aversion.

The eyes are the windows of the soul. They are an open library from which much can be learned. Each page telling of the joys, of the sorrows, the pain, the suffering, the bitterness and the humility that have shaped the realm each person is.

If one takes the time to look into that magical realm of infinite possibilities, countless poems will spring to mind as secrets even greater than the ocean’s become revealed.

So, in the end, each pair of eyes hide the treasure we all hide inside ourselves, ready for the daring adventurer to find it.

Lesson Learned: Taking time to gaze into someone else's eyes will teach you more than by reading a detailed journal.
