Eyes
Robert Shaun Henry 1980 (NY)
In the EYES we see...
It's actually the scene as we believe it to be...
A reflection of ones belief...
Tied to earth & its gorgeous beams of light...
The iris contrast when noticed in life...
Chances can be taken as with nice...
It's rolled for the risk...
Twice, as a skip on disk...
A fist could close the opening...
Some born with other measures of viewing...
Discover what else there is to discover...
We have other devices to ascertain...
Human versions of batteries...
Constantly working...
Ants especially look as we do...
Trying a pursuit of happiness...
Observe with your soul...
Judgement will not be placed on the core...
The foundation of the known is a given...
Listen...
Additional elements exist...
Only a fraction of the cerebral shifts...
The EYES, a true gift...
