A Thousand Eyes Poem by david lessard

A Thousand Eyes

Rating: 5.0


A thousand eyes peered from the hillsides,
nestled there amongst a great, green sea;
a sea of grass, but nonetheless a sea...
and the dandelions laughed at you and me.

The yellow flowers, danced in the summer breeze,
They looked out at heaven's bluish skies;
If one listened very closely, you could swear,
that you could hear their whispered sighs.

They're here one day and then next day, they're gone,
Like us, they come and go with changing seasons;
The fall and winter send them on their merry way,
and they, like us, may not know the questioned reasons.

We must enjoy them, while we have them with us,
Too soon, they're gone, and then one day, they die;
Like long lost realitives and friends, they drift away,
and in the green of distant fields their bodies lie.

Summers from now, they'll still be laughing,
As lovers, such as you and I, stroll casually by;
Summer goes so quickly and it's then it's over,
The seasons change as rapidly as you and I.

A thousand eyes, peered from the hillsides,
nestled there, amongst a great, green sea;
a sea of grass, but nonetheless a sea...
and the dandelions laughed at you and me.
