The Eyes Have It

Sitting cross legged
Cool earth beneath you
Nursing your wounds
They've begun to heal
Even the very deepest, known to so few
They've watched you bleed
Fragments of your story
Float in their minds
Pieces of a life
Blown by the wind
You knew no other way
Simply to be
Without cover
Now eyes, seeking yours
Wordless questions
Spoken soul to soul
Reasons fall away
Justifications meaningless
Past, this moment, tomorrow
One
Not one thought, no pillar
Empty of even a single structure, or thread
Carried from the beginning
Many would say
Everything is the same
But no
Oh, no
Light and dark
Dwelling together
Paths forged
Keys
Revelation
Connection
In this infinite lack of separateness
Altered within and without
And so
The entire world
And all within it
Are also changed
You meet their eyes
They're still wondering
What will you do now
Loving them
You stand up
Smiling
And step into the brightly colored street
