Eyes Back to Basics

Intriguing eyes as rivers to swim
Deep blue as the sea
Clear as the aquamarine sky
Coarse as a brown beaver
Smooth as chocolate
Black as coal and dark as night
Shining full of power and light
Green as pastures and the Chicago River on March 17
Yellow as sunflowers melting like butter
Truth comes forth while gazing into these eyes
Emanating from a vast place where goodness subsists
Eyes sparkle like diamonds on a sunny day
Glisten like gold worn by kings and queens of yesteryear
Crimson when angered
Calmed while scarlet letters are corrected
Stars fill the retina with bright ideas
Pools of sadness bag when things aren't quite right
Clouds fail to deter as the dolphins dance
Fireworks spark through the pupils
Exciting minds with every color of the rainbow
Whites pure as freshly fallen snow
Emerge fierce as a polar bear when threatened
At dusk eyes become as carroty as the sun
Hanging onto the promise for tomorrow
