The Eyes Have It

When we meet a new sister or brother;
what judgments is it we make?
All people like to size up each other;
not wishing to make a mistake.

What regard do we have for the one we see;
are they handsome, or smart, or pretty;
then we size up the person they may be;
did they grow up in the country or city?

Much is determined from simply a glance;
we, first, study how they’re dressed;
do they appear put together as happenstance;
or, perhaps, they’re dressed for success?

Ultimately we must dig beneath the surface;
we wish to really know that woman or man;
depending upon what might be our purpose;
we all wish to know, whatever we can.

Eyes are said to be the windows to the soul;
though only light energy gets in;
eyes take in energy; it’s their primary role;
no one can see what’s within.

Yet, eyes are steeped in magic and mystery;
their exquisite beauty may capture a soul;
magnetic attraction has been their history;
attracting friends, or lovers: their goal.

All truth is revealed from within their eyes;
are they an angel to save one from hell;
or maybe just a devil; hiding in disguise?
Only, the passing of time will tell.
