Burning Eyes
What do you say to someone who knows what you're thinking...
When mutual feedback empties your minds of focus and form.
What pleasantries then posed could begin to replace
your silence, freely given, listening
to the soft presence of your selves, together?

We each reflect ourselves
and the others we care about.
They become our hell and our salvation,
all of our karma is delivered
in the hands of our beloveds.
Each subject to love and reflections
in the pool of maya, ours.
We all pause in our tunnels of time
to witness our ends tied to our means.
We each pause to count our successes
against our failures.

Shafts of my emptiness fill out my time before me
time lines of what I'm becoming, given me.
I pause and consider, at once, my destiny and choices...
woven around this node, I fly thru time.
I'm growing but there's so much to know
and I've so far to go
to clear the material world.
What crazy dreams we spin
so unlike the truth.
My heart jumps each time the phone rings
but its only someone I know again.
