Eye to Eye Contact

 

Eye contact is important, for the mind
Yearns to discern Life’s signals, to decode
Enigmas of existence on the road
To understanding, ever needs to find
Out whys and wherefores which define mankind.
Escape routes open from cocooned abode.
Yet each must strive, survive life’s whip and goad,
Each blueprint is, whose future’s undefined,
Creative energy by Time designed,
Or by some ‘hand of fate’ - till overload
Neutralizes circuits, fuses blowed
To atoms iridescent.  If inclined,
An eye may open windows on the soul,

Can, Though imperfect, twin parts into whole.

    'If inclined, an eye can open windows on the soul'
    yes, with eyes we have the power to hypnotise, suggest, hide or lie to and from others, but through them intuition can also read the coded secrets within anothers soul, therein lies our vulnerability and the quest for love and understanding.

    Eye contact is an important part of life, as is body language, though we probably don't always realise how much we communicate through these methods. We simply take it for granted, which makes me wonder if a blind person compensates just as well through another sense to gain a similar amount of communication. Eyes also communicate our surroundings to us and allow us to explore them in far greater detail than any other sense, I think. "A picture paints a thousand words" may be a little cliche but it so very true. We could spend an eternity simply trying to describe what is in front of us right at this precise moment but this poem communicates its picture extremely well.

    I very much enjoy this rainbow rendering of your poem, illustrating your message just perfectly ...
    eyes are powerful instruments ... they can send out energy, both positive and negative ... they can capture and hook another, in need to overpower ... they can console another, letting heart's nectar flow through them ...

    they are just perfect mirrors, in which we can see our own (w)hol(i)ness ...

    thank you for sharing your wisdom through verse,
    maa
