mirrors of mirrors

i peer into the vastness of eternity
and see my eyes

reflected in my eyes
i see the vastness of eternity

i looked deep into her eyes
i saw only kindness
i told her that
and asked what she saw in my eyes
and she said
eternity

i watched him sleeping
stepped into his dream
we felt the love, father for son
and i awoke
and i looked into his eyes
and he was me
and he saw
eternity

i saw a man dragging a heavy knapsack
we walked in silence for a time
i felt a bit of pity, of sorrow
and then i awoke
i saw that he was my brother
and i smiled
and i wept
and he smiled
and he wept
we felt the love, brother for brother
we felt the love, father for son
and i awoke
