Life Through Her Eyes 36

                                                    Eyes

How can one foresee a painful road and still take it 

How can one witness their own suffering and be patient 

How can one look away from slaughter  imagery 

How can one eye shut knowing others will never open 

How can one view through a dusty lens and dare to envy the strength of the wind 

How can one look at a burning body and admire the flame 

How can one glance back to routine when death is near 

How can one look back at a dead body

Oh how I wish to view this life through eyes
