Notes About The Poem

For the 'Eye Of The Eye Poetry Contest'
Sponsored by: Unseeking Seeker

eye

Listen to poem:

Eye of the eye

Looking eye to eye
deep into unlit black wells
no image returns—
two gazes share their feelings
staring into shared black holes.

Eye to eye within
again delves into blackness—
aware of blindness,
the mind grabs at the ether,
seeking guidance and substance.

Yet in the darkness,
we become aware in stealth
no context required—
awareness is the wellspring
to yen beyond perception.

The eye of the eye
sees nothing — yet knows it all,
at the edge of perception
awareness unfolding....
