When you gaze at me
I see the Universe there
in the depths of your soul,
through the windows of your eyes;
the far reaches of a journey
still being traveled,
well worn pathways
visited upon your heart-
moments of pain and sorrow,
joy and light
traversed
alone...
...as it must be
We share experiences
only from the perspective
of our own reality
and so...
...the voyage is made
in the solitude of
one's own mind.
And yet the feelings evoked,
the energy released,
the common ground,
is true, and real,
and profound.
