I Stare by J. Lewis

I stare at you daily.

Wondering if I could ever escape the atom, and wander aimlessly into oblivion... caught somewhere between eternity and non-existence.

Caught somewhere between the heart and the mind, stretched through time and space, lifted by darkness and burdened with existence, I stare at your face...

I stare into your blue face, into the vastness and heat of your acknowledgement and know that all is not lost.

For I am expanding, expanding with the stars and the breath of the universe, expanding into you.
