I hear you.
Who among us is whole?
I see you -
beautiful, broken soul.

I hear you.
What separates dark from light?
I see you -
keen with living insight.

I  hear you.
When does winter become spring?
I see you -
connecting love to the sting.

I hear you.
Where is the source of the wind?
I see you -
spirited from within.

I hear you.
How do we make sense of pain?
I see you -
courageously vulnerable, again.

Hello, eyes
You have burned before
Does the glimmer of your gaze know the deep?  

Hello quiet eyes
Reflecting pools of self
Wells of echo and ripple
You, I recognize

Hello tiny door of adoring
You will be my undoing

Welcome, you piercing
promising
open, knowing
eyes.
