stare into a bright abyss 

the roots of shadowed memories are dismissed 

fingertips laced with a glistening cry

as bright as the largest eye in our sky


silky cloth hued in blue

veiled shimmering rays of truth

of which I already knew


her rays breathe a sigh of warmth

whispering buds of refuge to be born

her iris plants verdant fields of promise 

where thorns won’t hurt out of habit

her pupil a lake of forgotten rhymes

echoed louder across the sanded time


convinced petals were meant to be taken

rays of comfort I’d mistaken

mesmerized by the largest star in our sky

yet, stare into into her gaze for long

And what blindness will become of your eye


The author's comments:

As a writer, artist, and musician, I hope to inspire self reflection through my work and help others decide to pick up their pens. This piece confronts the hypnosis of maintaining ignorance to own's own blindness due to the apparent beauty of a concept or bond. 

Do not let the sun become the reflection of your eyes.
