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
