WHAT THESE EYES HAVE SEEN 


​what these eyes have seen
what these feet have walked
what this mind has thought
and this heart imagined
none can contain the magnificence of you


what these hands have caressed
perhaps in vain
the worlds spilled into oblivion


all of which are now memories
alive only vicariously
and which remain true
only to their own, not another


only this moment
slowly changing
only this heartbeat
ongoing


and then a memory
gone forever


I know only
that I don't want to live
trying to catch memories
o but so fleeting


I want to live
chasing dreams
which are ever expanding


o dreams immortal!
inspire this empty carcass
of flesh and bones


o energy divine!
flow through me
so that the veil is lifted.
