Poetry - Look into my eyes

Look into my eyes

you will see faces

of all faces

of all faces

my embryonic no eyes

an infant crying

childish wonder

a ready teenager

liberated young woman

graceful older woman

the old woman

lined and marked

thru tears

laughter loss pain

ah

the freshness of birth

the ashes of death

food for the roses

so

when you say

‘ you are beautiful’

look to everything

I am

I’ve been

and

will be

and see that

that is you!
