Forest Eyes

Looking out my window through the glass,
beyond the unkept yard, dotted by stones,
overgrown with weeds, and wild little flowers,
the woods stand tall and proud.
In the dawn of spring the forest lies,

guarded by a misty veil, just below the canopy.

 

Lush greens of life cling over branches,

giving way to the thin shield of fog dispersing,

spiraling down dark brown trunks of trees,

to end in the ground below, roots buried deep.

Here and there flecks of gold break through

to finish the mystery of my forest.

 

Yet I'm not looking outside, through my window.

I never made it past the glass,

the reflection of my eyes.

Author notes

I like to say I have forest eyes; brown, then hazel, then a yellow-green to green on the outside.  I love my eyes, and when I was younger they were completely brown. My user name comes from the name I gave my eyes;
forest eyes.

    The imagery takes my on a journey with you as you paint the background in my mind. I think eyes tell so much that we just cannot hide behind... funny how some eye colour changes know mine do depending on my mood....makes it hard to fill our forms asking eyecolour a bit like hair colour changes......thank you

    Good Luck!!!

    Very cool! I love all the different combinations of brown eyes. Mine are light brown with a deep dark blue ring on the outside. Your name is beautiful and mysterious just like a forrest.

    Beautiful

    A perect description. It brings the forest to life in a stunning description, but it doesn't do your eyes justice even though it is astounding.
