Look Both Ways Two eyes meant to view and examine the world With power to witness each spectacle shown To glance and to gaze at a scene that unfurls To watch with discernment the things that are known The lens of the eye made to capture a vision To wonder at aspects of what’s being viewed Like a camara focusing in on an mission Each picture’s engraved as each scene is renewed The eye is a magical organ of sight From the inside its purpose is feeding the mind But the cornea lens also works in reverse As it mirrors the character living behind The eyes of another may look into yours And see truth as clearly as though it were taught They penetrate into the depths of your core And decifer the vision of essence and thought The eyes are clear windows exposing your being Although they are silent, they tell what’s within The eye just reflects the truth one is seeing For who’s looking outward and who’s looking in Elizabeth Santos |

Well Well, It's nice to be back home after a couple of weeks in the great unknown... There is something about a vacation that takes you from looking both ways. I seemed to have obliged my daughter's a little more freedom than here in this city, infact I let them all stay up and eat anything they've wanted. Yet you are pretty darn good Liz... and probably right too... You see, Mom, nor I could ever stop looking both ways... but we wished as best we could. Much love, Dale [This message has been edited by lucky (edited 07-23-2000).] |

"The eye just reflects the truth one is seeing For who's looking outwards and who's looking in. So true Elizabeth they work both ways. Very clever...I always enjoy your fine work and this is no exception. |

Two eyes one possesses are but gifts to adore the world, the world notices it true and often say they are beautiful... But there does exist a third eye, unseen by the world, for it is the one that looks within... If one keeps this eye open, what the world will say is "the person has a beautiful soul" for it is the inner beauty that then shines through... ..... Liz, see how thought-provoking your poem was... need I say more to say just how beautiful it was... regards, sudhir |
