Emerald Eyes

•

emerald eyes captivate
fix me in their gaze
lift me
carry me
to the realm of unfinished dreams

they strip me of fear
longing
of inhibition
to render me transparent

I rise weightless
unburdened of care
an untethered being of pure moment
soaring through universes within universes

a traveler in time and space
ever-expanding consciousness
aware of all
riding the strand continuum
drawing it forward
reeling it back
slipping all temporal bounds

a being of universal presence
adrift in the infinite now
lost in the mystery
veiled in those emerald eyes
