I stared into the high noon sun,
until I became blinded by all but its memory.
Then I stared into that memorial as if it were my only one,
until not even the darkness could be seen.
When I could not turn away from,
nor toward any real perception,
it was love I found in a new light cast,
for only my heart to see the path
glowing in truth from all directions
winding beyond where spirits pass
where souls absolve their minds deceptions.
