Eyes

Balloon like, filled with aqueous & vitreous humor fluid, with a kaleidoscope iris’ coverings of various hues…….even called the windows of the mind
Embedded into a skeletal frame work for the face, able to scan the surrounding perimeters and register; now, time and place
Without the eyes and vision there is a darkness dependent on sound, senses, smell, tones and touch… a new ability to find
Our talents for survival, happiness, love, joy, sharing, caring and feeling connected to something that models the face
For how we “do it” with and without eyes….colors and darkness…. living the daily grind
Normalcy is a perspective, an ideal; a box to occupy space
Where we are shallow in our wisdoms, tribal in our judging of others, say things that are not so kind
Eyes are the” minds photo album” for our reflections in life, the rolodex for filing information, storing the joys, truths, disenchantments and the quality of love received
While the mind interprets, massages the input and cast back information depending on the condition of the spirit and what it believed
Our data could be skewed, burdened and grief stricken and filed with a heart from the “haters” data cabinet while holding a key that no longer fits
Opening doors, requests for a second opinion, a dose of understanding that will remove us from the pits
Of minor set backs or storms, that one eye conjured while the other eye slept
Eyes have many prisms of experiences, good, bad and indifferent
Eyes without moral and value foundations allow for self interpretation of the info received
Through carnal visions, religious lenses, twisted illusions and tribal/clannish ways
We are impacted for life in what eyes see and don’t see and
If eyes were removed from the skeletal core; they would be like the spy satellites perusing the orbiting galaxies, able to view the larger universe as they would hover above our earth viewing that which our creator see’s…..all things great, large and small.
Eyes see you and through their mirrors and the loss of earthen costumes; how good do we really look?
