This one's about my grandfather. He's been my inspiration for many things in life, and I hope he continues to be.

Eyes

Speak to me with your silent eyes
They laugh and shine in their greatness
Quiet contemplation gives them color
Breathtaking beauty makes them sparkle in darkness.

Sorrow makes the winding canals of wrinkles
Radiant sunlight granted you taut barren skin
Experience handed down rough and hilly hands
A quiet hum of a machine allows ability to listen.

Years passed with gifts of wisdom infinite
Brilliance left your hair to feed those eyes
They overcome me as I look upon you
With their gaze, my soul liquifies.

"The only thing that boggles the mind is the mind itself."

"You are the light of the world."

when i see elderly people, i see this quite strength in them that we, my generation, lacks. something that we would be better off having, but have some how or some time, lost that step in the growing up process. to me, it seems they can make it through any trials that life may throw to them. your second stanza:

I loved this, mabey because I have an incredible grandfather myself, if I ever managed to write anything about him that was half as eloquent as this poem is I would most definetly give it to him as a present!
