Lying Eyes
Searching
Eyes
For meaning
I think
I used to
Do that
Once
Maybe I thought
I would glimpse
The hidden
Soul
Maybe I thought
I would see
Understanding
I think
I wanted
To catch
The past
The present
And the
Future
A shadow
Of the thing
That they
Call love
Or maybe
I was just
Chasing
My own
Security
Since then
I have stared
Into cats' eyes
And dogs' eyes
And the eyes
Of sheep
And in none of
Them
Could I see
Any
More
Or less
Than in
Us
Finally
I stared
Into my own eyes
Wondering if
I would catch
Sight
Of what I
Looked like
Inside
And my mind
Swirled
With the struggle
And tried to
twist
The vision
Into what
It thought
Should be
There
But my eyes
Were the same
As
All the animals
And all the
People
And that
Is possibly
The most
Disappointing thing
In all
The world

Your work seems to come from a deep place and I love that depth.
