Eyes That See Do Not Grow Old

by Hafeez ur Rehman

The Title of this Poem is a Mexican Proverb.

Proverbs that your
Eyes monopolize
Will never reach my text.

Tear swept
And yet smiling
At all edges of life.
Looking and yet
Searching for vision.

I cannot paraphrase
The rising depth
Each time they
Cross my lonely route.

Flood them in drought
Run them dry in falling rain
But give them a color
For me to relate
And write a wordless poem.
