~ These eyes have closed with worry under lashes~They have spilled their tears when laughing~There is nothing they can’t see~nothing we can’t do when we’re ready~when we’re going~

~Eyes O’ Wonder/Line of Sight~

These eyes have watched
the spring grass blowing
They have tossed
and turned the clouds of afternoon
into images of
summer on the way
We are passing
we are going
and the zephyr it is blowing
It is gentle
in the evening

These eyes have closed
with worry under lashes
They have spilled
their tears when laughing
There is nothing they can’t see
nothing we can’t do
when we’re ready
when we’re going
We are lying in the grass
We are angels on the ground
when we fall down laughing

These eyes have opened
they have wondered
the horizon
loved the eyes beside them
They have winked into the dawn
closed themselves away
found a path across the room
and gone walking
through the blowing blades of grass
to the only one they knew
would come to find them
