Look Into My Eyes

I look into your soul
and see the light eternal.
A flower ever blooming,
clouds parting for the sun.

Tell me of your dreams,
the ones that whisper truth,
of angels dancing on hilltops,
who bring life and lust and glory.

I tell you new life will come
when the flames have died away,
when the lion devours the snake,
when the wounds have all scabbed over.

Of wounds we could talk for hours,
sirens in the night,
fires that end in anguish,
babes born unto the plague.

But look into my eyes,
look now and forget it all,
lull the angry one to sleep
to dream of summer and warm milk.

Look into my eyes,
for here you will find hope,
hope for us to remember
that which gives us life.

There is one who brings salvation,
whose name I will not tell you.
But look into your heart,
and holding firm, walk forward.
