Eyes — the best friend of yours or mine,
Because mind can lie,
But eyes wouldn’t try!
Mind says life is a mess,
Is there a way eyes can go through the less?
Turmoil of thoughts pass through the mind,
One is in a constant stretch to unwind!
Tear or fear — both are mine,
Can’t tell when things be fine!
All I want is to have compassion,
Is there any way to remove the compression?
Why the eyes were moist —
Can’t think of these gests!
Hopefully, things get better with rest.
Let’s close the eyes and relax for a while,
What to do even if dreams tend to lie?
Ohh no, let’s wake up and start afresh,
However, again life tends to bind in a mesh!
Stillness and tranquility is the need,
Hence, I pray for the selfless deed.
No rest, no rest — yelled by the mind,
Is there a safe nest to find?
God says, it’s time for us to take the test —
Hence, we need to perform the best!
Lo, the prayers worked well —
And eyes were closed as a shell!
Face was lifted with a broad smile,
Even though eyes were full of lime!
Eyes — the best friends of yours or mine.
