Tara, when the Goddess brought those eyes

Out of her magic chest of jewels

And gave them to you she must have hesitated and held them

Close to her heart for a moment;

How could she bear to part with anything so precious?

But some things must needs be...

Perhaps a vast part of the human mind

Needed some way to focus on love

And those eyes would provide ways...

Those eyes could see so far with such accuracy...

Could see unhindered by boundaries of time...

Could see in worlds where seeing is illegal...

Could see in worlds where seeing is considered Immoral...

Could see truth amidst pain and persecution

What a blessing to wander through that sacred grove

With you and Ruth and Shannon that day...

Some time later I received the letter

You wrote while sitting in the corner of a room

Surrounded by your friends

Who were wildly partying

You had promised me a letter

And you wouldn't even let yourself join them

Until you had finished it.

I wonder where you are now...

Wherever you are humanity will be running, dancing

Churning like clouds forming and melting in the sky

And souls will be birds rushing with wild winds

To breathe upon passion's embers, sweet memories,

Brighter than jewels, in mist and smoke obscured,

Guideposts to the heart divine

Could believe -- even in a world insane

Could see love through cement and steel

Could find the way to the heart in utter darkness

I was stumbling around one day when

I came upon those eyes

I knew they were Her eyes

How was it a mortal had them?

And then I realized She was in you

Looking out upon the world..
