Observation Windows

Bethany Blair 4/14/09


What’s up with eyes 

Say, look in mine 

Can you see any lies 

I don’t know, see inside 


You know, the leaders aren’t blind 

They have a vision 

It just isn’t mine 


Look beyond the object 

Your eyes are focused on 

Is it deception 

Or a kind of protection 


Too close together 

Or much too far apart 

The sayings of each 

What do mine transport 


Squinting or closed 

Wide open and staring 

Which is preferred 

Are these ones daring 


They say the soul spills 

Out through eyes 

Yet only when they themselves are filled 


It is through eyes 

That we see the souls of another 

But only with souls 

Can we understand the eyes of each other
