The View Through Your Eyes

kept apart by pure polarity
you inspire my solidarity
I can't touch you lest I die
still you're living in my eye

oh dear nearly child of mine
how I find you 
more than fine
reaching out to crisscross
stars
to gather gumdrops
and guitars

as the turning world grows 
older I feel you standing
on my shoulder
watch the bright parade
go by
and share your view
with my mind's eye
