Eyes

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust


As the person,
so the eyes.

Same view,
seen by many.

Some see hurdles,
others, opportunities.

The view is the same,
eyes different.


On we go,
the journey starts.

Different people see
different stars.

Once, when young,
things seemed tough.

With eyes of old,
nothing seems bold.

It is the perspective
with which we see.

That makes new, old
and the old, new.

The invention is made
when an idea strikes.

All rests the same,
only eyes have changed.
