These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Shakespearean Sonnet: "Through Your Eyes"

Your eyes and mind are filled with many thoughts.
You see the sky as brilliant blue or pale.
Your language shows the words, that you've been taught.
Aromas fill your heart with bliss or fail.

In trembling hope, you reach beyond the space,
that separates my life from yours in trust.
Your breathless waiting for my reach apace
is keeping friendship lines from going bust.

Who breaks the ice to start anew the sight
of me to you and you to me in grace?
How can we share this human life's great plight,
"Each mask has doors of eyes within each face."

This reaching from a heart to heart in love
begins within the heart of God Above.
