Lingua Oculorum: The Language of the Eyes
Eyes have a language of their own, they say,
Beyond the reach of speech or written word,
A silent tongue that all can understand,
Communicating what the soul has felt and seen.
A window to the mind, a door to the heart,
A mirror of the truth that lies within.
They say that eyes reveal what lies within,
A person's thoughts and feelings on display.
A fleeting glance can open up the heart,
Or hide the secrets that cannot be heard.
They are the portals to what has been seen,
A testament to all that they understand.
What do eyes see that others cannot understand?
The hidden depths of life that lie within,
The beauty of the world that's there to be seen,
The glory of the heavens that's on display,
The whispers of the soul that can be heard,
The wonders of the world that move the heart.
The windows to the soul, the mirrors of the heart,
The gateways to the world, the channels of understanding,
The portals to the past, the future and the heard,
The wells of wisdom, the fountains of the divine within,
The reflections of the truth that's on display,
The messengers of the world that we have seen.
Eyes have a language that's beyond what can be seen,
A code that's difficult for many to understand,
A language that can only be learned from within,
A tongue that's spoken by the heart,
A voice that's heard by the soul, a key to understanding,
A way to see the beauty that's on display.
The eyes are mirrors that reflect what's on display,
A testimony to all that we have seen,
A way to connect with what we cannot understand,
A language of the heart that speaks from within,
A voice that tells us what is real and true,
A messenger of the world that we have heard.
Eyes have a language of their own, that's clear to be seen,
A way to understand what lies within, that moves the heart,
A language of the soul that speaks to us from within,
A voice that whispers the truth that must be heard,
A language of the world that's on display,
A key to understanding that's beyond what we have seen.
Eyes have a language that's never been heard,
A code that only the heart can decipher,
A tongue that speaks of the beauty of the world,
And the depths of the soul that we all hold within.
It speaks of the love that's hidden in the heart,
And the secrets that are revealed when we have seen.
Eyes have a language that's woven in with dreams,
A way to understand what's never been said,
A voice that speaks of hope and what can be seen,
And the power of the heart to lift up the dead.
It speaks of the courage to face what lies within,
And the strength to endure what the world has in store.
Eyes have a language that speaks of the divine,
The wonder of creation that we have seen,
The majesty of the heavens that's on display,
And the beauty of the world that lies within.
It speaks of the truth that we've always heard,
And the grace that's present when we've felt it in our heart.
Eyes have a language that transcends all borders,
A way to connect with all that's been seen,
A voice that speaks of the unity that's within,
And the power of the heart to heal what's been hurt.
It speaks of the love that's been felt and heard,
And the beauty of the world that we've seen and observed.
Eyes have a language that's rich and complex,
A code that only the heart can understand,
A tongue that speaks of the depths of the heart,
And the wonder of the world that lies within.
It speaks of the power of the soul to uplift,
And the strength to endure what's been seen and experienced.
So let us cherish the language of the eyes,
The beauty of the world that we have seen,
The power of the heart to understand,
And the wonder of the soul that lies within.
For it speaks of the truth that's always been heard,
And the beauty of the world that's on display.
