Your Eyes
By Richard Maxfield
6-21-2000

With in your eyes I see
A thousand new suns rise
I see only loving truth
No deceit no lies

I see my eternal further
No reflection of my past
I see my new tomorrow
From the first to last

I see the depth of souls
Marching a million strong
Pathways to heaven
Narrow straight and long

I see babies crying
For their Mothers arms
Fathers standing strong
Keeping all safe from harm

I see a white doves wing
To lift me far above
Sooth my broken heart
Fill it full of love

I see my very one
For whom my heart longs
Filling my days with joy
My mouth full of songs

I see a faint reflection
Of my very soul
Rapture me to your heaven
From this mortal place

Too see so much in another's eyes is a beautiful thing. A beauty you expressed well in your poem.  

I am no one if not myself.

Beautiful writing, Richard....reminds me of the Johnny Mathis song...

In your eyes,
I see the magic of the sea
I see the beauty of the love
The love I feel you feel for me

Autumn comes....summer dies
I see the passing of the years
In your eyes
ANd when we part there'll be no tears
No goodbyes

I'll just look into your eyes

those eye
so wise
so warm
so real

I love the world
your eyes reveal.......

Evening maxtec1,

Much is seen in those eyes that you look into. She is a lucky person, for you to see so much, and to be able to write it down, as you have done.
