Staring into deep pools of magnetic thunder,
these are your eyes.
Being the supposed "windows to the soul", I try to crawl through.
But your windows are shuttered.
Broken panes of glass, dusty with tears.
Someone drew pictures, pushing the dust away,
enough for me to peek through...

This is quite an interesting piece. I have always thought of the eyes to be things that see the moods in people (well mind change colour but we wont go there). You have given a good little description of what eyes are to many people. I liked the way that you related people closing up to having their eyes filled with dust. Great piece.

Very unique with powerful imagery.  It's nice to have that little peek through the dust sometimes, isn't it?  Wonderful work.

AF: I agree about the mood thing. I was thinking deep with this one, kind of trying to make sense of this guy I know. Thanks.
Alwye: Thank you. Yes, the peek can be nice, but sometimes what you find can be unexpected.

Thanks again,
