Eyes and Soul

Eyes and Soul: Poetry by Rian Adams

The poem Eyes and Soul is a take on William Shakespeare’s quote, “The eyes are the window to the soul.” I think something spiritual happens when we observe eyes staring back at us in wonder. In essence, it reminds us that we are truly alive.

Even Matthew, the Gospel writer, says this, “The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy then your whole body is filled with light.” Matthew’s message is clear, when our eyes are fixed on beauty, be that in ourselves, others, or the divine, we are in a healthy place.

Have you ever looked into the eyes of another and caught a glimpse of love glaring back at you?
