Look into your eyes, for the eyes hold all truth. What do you see?

Do you see the eyes of an age-old wise owl? Or do you see the slyness of a fox?
Do you see the pride of an eagle? Or do you see the smallness of a mouse?
Do you see the tenacity of a wolf? Or do you see the peacefulness of a butterfly?
Do you see the piercing glance of a panther? Or do you see the warm glance of a friend?
Do you see the sinister look of the rattlesnake? Or do you see the innocent stare of a newborn?

Look into your eyes and see who you are. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the eye of the beholder, tells more about them, than what they see as beauty.

Very interesting...I must agree...to me, the eyes are a mirror to a person's soul.

Yes, definitely interesting. I enjoyed it. I too believe that the eyes are the mirror of the soul.

Welcome to Prose.. I believe what you say here is a truth. What we see in someone's eyes can also be a reflection of ourselves.(or what we wish to see in the depths) It is all perception.
