Believe with your eyes ____AKSHR

 Believe with your eyes

 

Believe with your eyes, not with your ears.

 

This was the first thing he said to me.

 

He had been telling stories all night,

 

tall tales that were burning holes in my memory.

 

I wasn’t sure why I was so far from home, 

or how he found me, 

but his words fell like rocks between us.

Without taking my eyes off the elephant before me, 

I said, “What do you mean?”

“You can't believe anything you hear.”

He said before I walked away, and then he was gone.
