Her eyes

Up till this day

Never have I understood

What was so special

About her eyes


When I first saw them

I was sure

It must have been

The vivid, rare emerald color


But I learned later

It wasn't

Perhaps the accent

Of her auburn hair

So close to emerald?


But that wasn't

The secret either


Then today

As I stared

Into those eyes

They revealed the secret

Which had been hidden for years

Her bright shining soul

Was flowing, brilliantly

From her unique emerald eyes
