Your Green Eyes

Beauty within the depths of the soul.
Looking into your green eyes, I go
From feeling lost to being whole

Once again. Your eyes throw
Me through the fire to make sure
I am still surviving. They blow

Me over with intensity. They cure
All hatred and most self-doubt.
They are something that is so pure.

They can try to end the drought
Just with one look. Darling, they
Have the power to grow and sprout

Everything that is lush. They say
Everything that words do not.
They make me want to pray

For greener grass during the hot
Summer days. When you close them
You can picture getting caught

Within the wilderness and the thrum
Of the wind. Somehow you forget
About feeling completely numb.
