Shining eyes

What makes your eyes shine? 
What sets them aflame ? 
What causes those twin jewels to sparkle? 
Lighting up your life
Showering radiance on the world around you. 

Summer days 
Easy, breezy they say 
Languishing carelessly on the grass 
Picnic baskets strewn 
Sticky sweet fingers 
Hair blown asunder 
Clothes in disarray 
Doesn't really matter 
Your eyes shine 

Autumn glows 
Blazing glorious colors
Reds, Yellows, golds 
Tramping through forests 
Hands clasped together 
Nose twitching in anticipation
Of spicy smells 
Awaiting ecstasy of more golden moments 
A shine in your eyes 

Rain 
refreshing, cooling 
Chilling, freezing, drenching
Outlines of bodies huddling together under shelters 
Clothes sticking to skin 
Sending sweet shivers rushing 
Scalding tea burning 
Steam rising from roadsides as traffic stops 
Mingling sounds of people chattering and horns beeping 
Running through puddles
Knee- deep, waist high
Children sailing paper-made boats 
Laughing at the water streaming down their faces 
Laughing at the adults squinting in the rain 
Clapping, Splashing 
Childhood innocence 
Leaving shining eyes.
