Your eyes

In your eyes there is a peace I don't understand
There's an ocean of tears with no ripple or wave
There is a strength I don't comprehend
And such a Silence, Quiet as the grave

In your eyes is intimidating stillness
A constant storm with no wind or sound
Endless motion yet no friction
Lightening strikes but does not touch down

So much to say, no way to say it
A melody no way to play it
Power beyond your wildest dreams
Trapped behind bars of memories

In your eyes lay promises broken
Bits and pieces of words unspoken
But more than those, lays quite serene
A level of you that's yet unseen

Stronger than your pain there's Joy
Future brighter than your past
Strength far greater than your weakness
Endurance far beyond your path

Beginnings wont compare to ends
Your journey is so far from through
A mighty fortress there you stand
Everyone sees it, everyone but you

In your eyes there is a peace I don't understand
And you wonder why I'm afraid to look?
