In Your Eyes

Courageous and Brave, by Sharon Peterson

















I look into those eyes,
And it’s impossible for me to not feel your light shining back at me.
I could never see you as a mindless animal.
Your personality is painted across the gentle curves and soft skin of your face.
Every movement has expression and depth that shows me that you know this world you're interacting with,
And that it knows you.
You belong here, so naturally and beautifully,
In a manner unknown to us humans,
Who always want to change the world to suit and serve us better.
Thank you for sharing the warmth in your eyes,
And allowing me to know that soul that dwells within.
Even in my limited, human way.
