EYES FROM A DISTANCE

They’re seen, from the park as I walk down the street,

Standing there it is this person under a tree, I can see.

In the store, I wander, shopping for food, again these eyes,

They are here, a color now seen as closer they are to me.

Eyes from a distance are upon me, their faces are searched,

So many colors all from different views, bright eyes too.

I’m everywhere, at times i can see them stare, they dare,

Eyes from a distance are not well known, they roam.

Eyes tell a story, they hold inside secrets of a life,

Eyes from a distance, what do they know, see what they show.
