The eyes are the
window to
the soul
the Bible
tells us so
we are even
given gifts
to see into
souls
the Bible tells
us so
Sometimes we look
into eyes and see
stars
our happy ness
our future
as one
forever
and sometimes
it's just
our own
reflection.

Where there's Art there's Heart
Here's a stupid thing: I adore art, but I start to panic whenever I step into a gallery. In the one place I should be at my contented best - surrounded by walls teeming with creative expression - I fall apart. What ought to be an enriching experience, tacitly designed to facilitate the exploration of human empathy and perspective, is for me an overwhelming purgatory of anxiety that compresses me to the point I cannot breathe. At the same time, I experience a sense of extraction, as though my head is being prized open to create a hole so big my sanity could evaporate. Somewhere between these two opposing forces of vice and vortex, I feel myself dissolving in a stream of panic that makes me want to cry; and I feel so daft feeling this way, that all I want to do is run for the hills.

Beautifully spiritual and reflective. I love how you blended scripture with emotion—eyes truly do speak what words often can’t.✨
Ah this one’s got almost daydreamy drift to it! Honestly it’s kinda hard for me to make direct eye contact with someone. I don’t know why or maybe I don't want them to read my eyes 😅—feels like too much all at once.😬
Just true, sometimes it's just our reflection. Loved your poem!
