THESE EYES

These eyes are brown,

nothing special

nothing unique

except they saw you

for who you are

or could be

before anyone

or anything else

was prepared.

They were the first

to see your power and grace

and they were the last

to witness

how it would all end up.

These brown eyes

were quick to pour liquid

when they saw you go

forever.

In that,

these eyes

so brown and common

proved strangely

different

from all the others.
