Within your eyes I've glimpsed the jasper sea.
And braved to search out secrets hidden there,
Mysteries of you that now belong to me.
I've drawn them from the deep with utmost care.
I've seen the gulls glide swiftly near your reef
To feed upon the flotsam by the shore;
Seen fishers catch the denizens beneath,
As bitterns wade the shallow coastal floor.
The tide pools give relief from sun and sand
To flounders who have lost their way at sea.
And I'm amazed when sky and sea and land,
Within your eyes, are looking back at me.
Within your eyes I've seen all that's divine.
And hope to make these treasures somehow mine.
