Lazy eyes down the Yellowstone,
she looked both ways to remember. Glances
from across the road, future already written. Cars
drive past the standing stone, her vehicle painted
with hazards. Every which way she tried to go
kept bringing her back into the middle.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.
Eyes + Words 
“Haruka tooi daichi no hate ni atsuku moeru yuuhi ga shizumu
Mada minu sekai e omoi wo hasete takanaru kimochi wa inori ni kawaru
Kono hoshi no dokoka de naiteru dareka no waraigoe ga kikoeru hi made
Far, far away, at the edge of the earth the hotly burning sun sinks
Driving thoughts to the unseen world, the beating feelings turn into prayers
Until the day I can hear the person crying somewhere on this planet start to laugh
Kodomotachi no hitomi ni utsuru kibou no hikari wa yuuki wo kureru
Chiisa na watashi ni dekiru koto nante sekai wa hirokute wakaranai kedo
Sumiwataru aoi sora ni tada hitotsu shinjitai ai wa chikyuu wo sukuu no ka na
The light of hope reflected in children’s eyes gives me courage
The world is so vast, I don’t know if there’s anything someone small like me can do, but
All I can believe in is that clear blue sky I wonder if love can save the world” -Kokia “Live Alone”

I read this as a reflection of the purpose seeking life. No matter which way you go or even to stand still, you right where you are meant to be.
