Story in the Eyes

Eyes are indeed windows
Leading to the heart and soul
They reveal much thats unspoken
Holding secrets untold

I see them as stained glass
Like the ones churches display
They hold an incredible story
Only if you spare attention to pay

Some hide deep rooted pain
Glistening, polished from tears
Some hide wisdom lurking inside
Built from many lived years

Eyes are beautiful to gaze upon
Especially to see affection in a lover
Read the stories laid out to see
Or let them be read by another
