You See

I saw the stardust
we all contain
in your eyes
as blue as the atmosphere
and ethereal as worlds I've treaded
outside of this skin
and we begin to transcend
but always return
and it is that little death
upon return
which makes us human
for every time a little more of me
is hovering
and though I know my actions
may seem merely human
and vulgar to some
I know they cannot see the endless light
They cannot touch infinity
But I am both
full of passion
and empty as a void
I skip across the stars
when I look in your eyes
across the world and time
and everything
and in between it all - where I exist
a timeless, ageless continuum
flitting in and out
of this earthly body
like a butterfly - knowing only metamorphosis
and all that is everlasting in me
is what you see
deep inside my eyes
fathoms and pools
of perception and reflection
this is ALL
and you see
