Eyes

hazel
blue
green
black
why do we have these colors
in our minds for the duration of our lives
maybe we find them soothing
or haunting
or maybe just a different shade
than we can find normally
maybe it has to do with the windows to the soul
maybe we lodge these colors in without ever realizing
they hide the truth
and the person behind them has secrets
unbeknownst to the rest of us
that they wish to tell
the world at large
no matter what the cost
brown
ocher
honey
mud
any way you put it
these colors can represent
beauty or a harsh reality
