Daughters

My daughters have eyes of wonder

Blue with white-crested waves,

The calm before the storm,

Rising, falling, searching,

Restful, tranquil, yearning,

Serene with passions warm.

Green with cinnamon spice,

Simmering fire, smoldering ash

Heated, desiring, bubbling

Loyal, loving, tumbling,

Dancing with joy unabashed.

Brown with wells of warmth,

Deep with mysterious knowing,

Thinking, feeling, wanting,

Sensing, hearing, parting,

Seeing with eyes all aglow.
