IN THE EYES OF A WOMAN

Somehow when you look at me
I become undone inside
Your eyes see the reality
Lasers right through to my soul

How did you know
You connected to the well
Saw the pain
Saw the joy
You see the meaning

Emotional maturity
In your eyes
Your look cuts right through
What is real & raw
Untouched yet by another

Intense & deep
No fear of what you would find
Just a fearless ability to see
Dared to challenge me

Going where no one would dare
No one deep enough
No one fierce enough
Loving that which I thought was
Unlovable

Facing the Darkest of Secrets
Illuminating that which never was
Showing through your eyes
Loving the whole

In the eyes of a Woman
I found another way of seeing
I have found a different picture
Embraced by her strength
Loved through what she sees....
