To see the world
through soft eyes
is to See the world
through the poet’s eyes.
Duality blurs into Unity
when it is the heart
that manifests Vision.
‘Round and ‘round
the ancient dihedral
dances the Beloved’s
suitor.
Surely he finds himself
liquored on his own breath
when he realizes
it is he in the spotless looking glass
gazing gently
upon the soul of the world.
