The Eyes

You can always tell a person by the look in their eyes. And your eyes are no different. At first glance, there is just a glint of blue, a glimmer of soul creeping out, but as I get closer, as you open your eyes a little wider, letting me in, I see a deep blue and shining light. It reminds me of diving: near the surface, the water is turquoise and pretty, but as you descend it becomes bluer and bluer, until you reach the limits of safe diving. There, the water is a very deep blue and the light is rather diffuse. Yet it is relaxing and homely, even. Sometimes, I yearn for that deep blue light. And when I am with you, and I stare deeply into your eyes, I see it. And I feel relaxed, and at home.
