Vision's Quest

All the people - walking - talking
                 nowhere is my sibling seen
                 cannot waken - senses knowing
                 startling evidence - not lean
                 earth is lesser - skies are pale
                 gone his essence - once no lack
                 clouds of information - telling
                 of his never coming back
                 how to filter - happen-stance
                 mirrored eyes of him I see
                 as I pass a window's glance
                 they're the eyes of him and me
                 beings moving - here and there
                 seeing not - my pain
                 me - supposing smiles are real
                 knowing not - their own refrain
                 consume my sorrow - in clock's turning
                 haps to lend me sweet relief
                 in attendance  - heaven's yearning
                 waits for me - is mine belief
