Universal Reflection

I have always been intrigued by the concept of the idea that the universe is reflected in us, and can be seen in the simple things, such as the reflection of light in a person's eyes and how one can see (or in some cases not see) and understand the past, present and future with but a glance. It does not happen much, alas, but when it does, it is inspiring. The following piece is a recent one (a couple of months old I think), inspired by merely the glint in a soul's eyes.

'Reflection'

All that ever mattered...

This wonder ablaze...
Born in hearts of stars
Connected through the ebb and flow
Of moments remembered
Within the light of time.

All that could be known...

These thoughts consumed...
Lost in the instant of revelation
Welcomed by the emotion and ecstasy
Of tomorrows unbound,
Seeking the promise of time.

All that we are...

This vision awakened...
Born in hearts of stars
Made manifest in the anticipation
Of such a welcoming glow,
Reflected in the light of your eyes.
