World Eyes

They say the ocean reflects the

Color of the sky and perhaps my blue

Eyes reflect the mood inside and light

Up a room or shine with adventure, turning

Green in the forest

Gray in the classroom

and yellow around the middle when I’m

Swimming with my friends, soaking in the joyful sun

“What color are they?” I am asked and they are

A mosaic of my grandfathers and truly one of a kind and

I see the world and all of its parts, blue eyes turn aqua and

My friends say they can see the world in my eyes,

My ancestry stretches across three continents and

Have a color of their own
