Ok, here's my haiku for this challenge.

When life is too much

Instead of pushing harder

Close your eyes and rest

Flowers dreaming spring

Dancing blossoms overhead

Kissing sun shining

One child has green, the other has hazel. Neither carry my dark brown, the color I inherited from my grandmother.

They adorn wisps of my DNA,

Through wavy hair or dimpled smiles.

I am reminded though that through their eyes, the color of a summer river, that their vision is their own.

I cherish and fear, in equal measure, letting go.

Dark blue, curious,

Just like mine in this small face,

With his dad’s lashes.

A blank canvas sits before me

I sit in uncertainty

Then I paint

An eye for an eye

is seldom a solution.

Trust the universe.

Ay - I see you - aye

Eying me through a needle

You'll poke your eye out

Blue, brown, green and grey

Pathway to the inner soul

Fall madly deeply.

Fading winter sun,

the closing eyes of the Earth;

yet still there is light.

Really pretty

Your poem is beautiful! There are so many beautiful ones here.

Through eyes like windows

Screens stare deeply into souls

Glazed stare is returned

Thanks for the prompt!

Listen for her voice:

She calls with eyes so knowing

And glides on water.

Head with cold rolled eyes

she shakes daily from nonsense

of this upside world

Stars that shine in the night sky

Eyes like paradise

her third eye opens

and all the mens' guts spill out

so Shiva lays down

And she rests

My eyes delightedly see only what they want,

everything else walks beside me

waiting to be observed

Great!
