An Ode to MyEyes

These lovely and very important words came to me one day (January 13, 2019 to be exact!) while I was doing some healing work on my eyes.         




 An Ode to My Eyes                                            

Beauty and depth

And willingness to see,

These are my eyes                                                            

When I allow them to just be.

External sight

And internal vision

Coming together.

That is their mission.

My eyes are so scarred

So surgically altered.

The trauma they’ve seen

Has caused them to falter.

 

I try to be kind                                                                         

And gentle and sweet

To this part of myself

That is still hard to meet.

I have put my eyes

Through so much pain.

They showed me the way

Back to my Soul again.

I hope I can find

The courage to stay

With this deep inner journey

That is guiding my way.

 

Yes--my eyes are so beautiful

Deep and profound.                                                    

They help me see heaven

And keep my feet on the ground.

There is no separation

Between inner and outer.

My eyes are aware,

Yet… I remain a doubter.

My inner dreams and visions

Are full of love and support

Yet my external world

Just seems to fall short.

My eyes truly are

The connecting force

Between inner and outer.

I know that is true, of course.

So next time I doubt

What my eyes can see,

I hope I remember

To just let them be.
