The Eyes Have It


Thinking eyes and seeing them everywhere
Even trees have eyes 
but they don't come in pairs.
Some have woolly eyebrows


some form slits against bright sunshiny days


Others have bags under their eyes


Perhaps in need of some anti-wrinkle cream
or one of those tiny bottles of liquid tears


distressed and tearful


Perhaps an alligator's eye


Some trees have lips
created by a rope that had obviously been there for years.
We freed it
Hope it can breathe better now.

    1. Funny that business of seeing pattern everywhere...perhaps those trees are not amused!

    1. Talking about looking at things...I am sure that on a different day I would have seen things differently.

  6. Thanks for the giggle this morning! There is a cherry tree where I walk and there is a Goddess living in its bark. I see her everyday. My piano also has a face in the wood. I know I am doing my yoga correctly when I can see her. ;) I love to find designs in bark and you have some treasures.

    1. Isn't it amazing what we can see when we de clutter our minds.

  7. Like eyes of primitive creatures...quite disturbing! But an interesting idea, I will look for those eyes that I never noticed before.
