Heaven's Eyes
The night time sky sparkles with a million points of light.
Dazzling and brilliant; mesmerizing.
Looking deeply into the night, one can only feel amazed at what is seen.
For me, there is an added feeling of familiarity, a déjà vu that is strongly similar.
What is it that could possibly compare to the stars?
A realization begins.
An understanding that is slow to take hold of at first, but one that is profoundly true nonetheless.
What could possibly compare to the dazzling stars?
As the familiar images begin to overlap and take shape in my mind, the sure knowledge of sameness floods in.
I know what compares to the stars.
I've always known.
It's the dazzling points of light in your jade green eyes.
They're the reason why I live.
Your eyes are why I fell in love with you, and why I can't help but compare you to the heavens.
