#56 Colour - Eyes

It's quite spectacular, that we can all be identified by our eyes alone

That different patterns and colours sit on the surface of our vision

It can be seen that we all hold different pattern, colour, and tone

Which can be distinguished by a decent optician



But not only do we have different eyes externally

A different eye-based appearance

We also all see the world different internally

We have a different ocular experience



So do you see your vision too often tinted red?

An anger at the world that faces you

Does it all occasionally get to your head

Is it sometimes tough to fight through?



Can you also, though, see with blue

Be at peace with the world entire?

It's not angry, the world has its problems too

It's up to you to lift yourself higher



I know I occasionally have more than a hint of green

I'm jealous of what others display

And don't see the work put in behind the scenes

To make up who they are today



Maybe a drop of brown to your eyes?

A gentleness to welcome a friend

Honesty and sincerity, no person of lies

Or is that brown just a lens and pretend?



But grey is what I fear, no colour is let in

To be tired of the world and all its merry little game

I want to world to expand and brighten!

Not for it to dull and seem all the same



But life is a palette, a versatile mix

And no lens sees the world the same way

Each is personal, deep and complex

So what is yours, would you say?
