Two woods diverge in a yellow wood, and I- I took the one less traveled. And it has made all the difference. -Robert Frost

The ocean is in your eyes,
A clear silver pure.
Raging of compassion
And lapping of desires.


A lightness is in your eyes,
Something holy, something held.
A light surpasses the middle,
And then are your eyes.
