emerald eyes
stare
fix me
in their grasp
lift me
bodily
into
the atmos
of
unfinished dreams
strip me
of
fear
longing
of
inhibition
to render me
transparent
as I rise
weightless
care-less
untethered
being
of
pure now
filled
with universes
within
universes
a vessel
of time
and
space
ever-expanding
consciousness
aware
of all
not
as separate
but
as the is
the was
the
to become
with
infinite reach
embracing
the
strand continuum
drawing it
forward
reeling it
back
in
uninterrupted
linearity
of purpose
and
reason
for
no reason
but
the being
of its
universal
presence
its
omnipotent
here-ness
now
seeing through
the
emerald eyes
with
glassen gaze
I
behold
the meaning
of
the meaningless
to learn
what
is not
known
to reveal
what
cannot be
now
until forever
an epiphanal
unveiling
of
the mystery
of fate
to understand
the
why
within
the why
ever
I ascend
to
realization
comprehension
that
the meaning
of
the meaningless
is
the void
in
those
emerald eyes



This almost reads like a mystical experience. It drew me in.

of

longing
of
