THE WINDOW OF OUR SOUL

I look deeply into eyes
To see each soul inside
The eyes are windows of our soul
And Truth, they will not hide

In some I see an ego
Evil's vice of pride
In some, a humble spirit
Led by a Holy Guide

Some eyes show pain of loneliness
For lost love broke the heart
A soul that has been left alone
Yearns for a brand new start

Some eyes show joy of being loved
Joy bubbles from inside
Contented as a rippling stream
No breaking heart to hide

Old eyes show me wisdom
From a soul so tried and true
These eyes speak Truth, without a word
With a glance at me and you

Some eyes reflect a wounded soul
Mistreated from their start
Resentment, hate and anger
Needing Love to heal their heart

Some eyes, deeper than a pool
Reflect heart touching God
A kind and kindred spirit
Acceptance on earth's sod

As I look around me all about
Compassion starts to grow
Recognition of my Spirit kin
And my heart does love them so

So Father, let me rise above
All words and actions cruel
For evil tries to quench our love
But Satan is a fool

Please help me love from deep in heart
Let Your Love flow through me
'Til Heaven, on the other side
When Love will then be free

And if I sometimes wonder, Lord
Why life is not more kind
Let me look in brother's eyes
And my heart bypass mind

Some soul's trials, more difficult
Making life so hard and long
But we each must bear our given cross
To savor Heaven's song

Broken hearts and wounded souls
Are so easy to forgive
The last someday shall be made first
And in harmony we'll live

No more crying, no more dieing
There'll be Peace and Joy and Love
We'll join in perfect worship
Praising Father, Son, and Dove

For You are Love, my Father
In Your Image, I
We shall understand it all
When to the flesh, we die

The eyes of man, a view within
Reflecting journey's goal
Allowing esoteric glimpse
Through window of our soul

Proverbs 27:19

As in water face answereth to face,
so the heart of man to man.
