Whatever he looked like,
and we aren’t told,
she said he must have had
beautiful eyes
Eyes to be drunk in,
along with his message
of equality, of love
Warm gentle eyes
looking tenderly into your soul
our young bachelor servant king
The one with so many women followers
in a time when women weren’t seen
or heard in the gate
Revealed to them alone
in shimmering light
Planting himself in their
good, fertile soil
sitting at his feet
longing to be with him
and his giving eyes
