The fickle skies may steal the years
Hiding them away, from mortal eyes
Time takes its toll, on the elegant beauty
As colour seeps from lives
Personality dominates the future
An abundance of characteristics,
A shining glimpse into the depths of a soul
The windows of shimmering topaz
Regardless of the marks of time
One window remains
Blue Eyes.

These lines really captured my attention and summed up the entire poem so well.
Best of luck in the contest.
