The tired, tough eyelid is the key to opening the window into one’s soul. Deep oceanic blue filled with open pathways, opportunities, and unknown truths. The eyes don’t lie. The dark, cold, tunnel leading into a world of secrets, regrets, pain and pleasure. The soul shown through a pane of glass. Vulnerably baring the heat for the world to see. Seething anger barely contained, exuberant joy refusing to be restrained. The eye can be a window into someone’s soul, a snippet of what’s going on inside, a path to personality. The eye is the window to your soul, a collection. A library. A bundle of images containing memories. The memories that make you who you are.  The eye is a looking glass. A window. A transparent pane, reflecting all that makes us who we are. Experiences. Hardships. Pains. Triumphs. At times the eye provides cover, a sheet to hide behind. But in the end, is a window to your soul. The eye is a transparent opening to one’s complicated world. It glistens in the sunlight, however the story behind that eye is not glistening. The key to the endless soul that sets one apart from another. Each eye tells its own story, a story of both joy and hardship, excitement and sadness. The eyes show the true depth of your soul. You look in and see horror or beauty. Light or dark. You can stare at it and become lost in the sea of deep blue. The eye is a gateway to the soul, past the threshold, a beautiful warmth that infects the mind of anyone that looks through. The eye is the window to your soul. Tells a deep meaningful story, free, mystery, hidden truth, personality, seeing deep in their soul, blue, understanding, beautiful endless white cloud and blue sky. The eyes. Mysterious, deep, full of secrets. Like a wall where one’s pain and sorrows are tucked away, out of reach from the outside world. The eyes are a hidden portal where in every corner there is a new story, a new beginning, a new adventure. The eye is a gateway into the soul. It shows the pathway that is needed to become fulfilled. Complete. Free. Each colour shared by so many and yet never the same shade, pain, or story. Windows from closed, open, or locked away, each describing a different tale of turmoil, storms, or clearing rain. Opportunity. Perspective. Morals. The eye reflects everything that seems to be merely hidden from one’s inner thoughts.  The eye, a mysterious, ancient piece of technology, a luscious object. A meaningful, inspirational, personal, all-knowing. Omniscient. Seeing deep into another’s soul.  The bright blue bold eyes, layed out symmetrically on one’s face, the dark surrounding eyelashes, encasing the powerful, everlasting effect to see the world for its glory. The eye is a gate way. A path to personality, opinions and emotions. The same world perceived a different way, through different eyes. The eye is a window to someone’s soul. were the window transparent, and revealing of sights, the eye a glistening bright of the nights. The eye transparent and revealing of truth, the window concealed from above by a roof. The eye is the one sense you visualize firsthand, your soul is consisting of your personality, own thoughts and opinions. The eye is an opening to one’s integrity. There are personal morals and values. The eye helps to visualize opportunities present; it is then how, within, you interpret things.  Look into their eyes. it gives a view into a person's life.  The eye can give a view of the world around us but can also allow a view inside.  It can show the pain, the misery and the hardship.A dead giveaway into what a person is thinking and feeling. The pupil of the eye to the window of your soul shows the pupils who shaped you. The pupils in your life have pathed you to the house of the eye to the window of your soul. The eye is the window to your soul, the eye is the clearest view to your heart, you can see what you think and what you feel. What do your eyes conceal?
