Windows to the soul
Are they really?
Do you ever question the validity
of this well-worn cliché?
Is it as easy to see as the colors and flecks?
Or do the eyes require beams of light
to unveil the sedimentary layers of truth?
Ironic that this phrase gives any comfort at all.
Such a desperate need to spelunker into
the many caverns of other's emotions,
while we still reach to close the blinds lest they see ours.
