Look into those eyes


Look into those eyes!




Hi Jeffry, I only recently stumbled upon your FB page. I confess I was lost for words...you're truly gifted. After viewing all, I was touched by the current wall photo and felt the eyes were communicating with me. I thought I could hear her and what she wants to convey. I felt compelled that I wrote a poetry piece which I will post here. Though you painted for Bougainville, I think this wonderful painting can also represents the youthful PNG nation and all the dreams and hopes we have. See poem below!

Look into those eyes

See those eyes; wide open staring at you;
They hold secrets, a thousand secrets
Lying bare on a vast ocean

Look into the gleaming eyes,
Do you see a thousand tales that beckon you?
O go ye, they are fair and life abound

Now do you see a thousand dancers,
Gaily dance in soothing breezes?
Do you hear a thousand songs from
Mountains misty to valleys beautiful,
And over dreaming seas?

Look again; deeply! into those eyes;
Do you see a thousand flames reaching out,
While dancing haphazardly?

And, do you hear a thousand cries, from
Mountains misty to valleys beautiful,
While the winds sweep the shores?

Do you see idle rocks sitting on shores,
And watch as waves in loud collisions crash,
Then echo across valleys until mountains,
And disappear into rain clouds?

Look into those eyes; do you see everything?
