LOOKING BACK

Hidden well behind the eyes
Mystery in deepest black,
What you do not know you see
In the mirror looking back.

Feel your pulse to count you here,
Catch the daydream on your face,
Everyone is somewhere else
Somewhere in that inner space.

Vacancy is what you are,
Omnipresent like the air,
You resolve my universe
Sitting in your rocking-chair.

Roy Austin

ONE EXISTS

Scattering the bones of thought
Looking for a sign,
Man is God’s forgetfulness
As the sun is wine.

As that blue sky to the eye
Dissolves my vision,
Divine amnesia-like clouds
Shroud my oblivion.

Roy Austin.. From Mystic seed
