It's as if I am blind

It’s as if I am blind,
But behind my eyes
I sense you out in the night skies.
I close my eyes
And I am in space,
Feeling you somewhere, in your place.
I know where you are,
Where my rope goes
And you’re holding its other end always.
Earth matters not,
You were what I sought,
And now I’ve reached that place
I’ve been dying to go, where I’ve always been –
If only I’d closed my eyes I’d have seen.
It’s no longer ‘me’, but ‘I and you’
And I feel no space between us two,
Behind our bodies, separation and words –
Inside our hearts we are in accord
Quietly, together, you are the world
I found in the droplet when I gave up the world.
The whole world was empty, but you are the world
Overflowing with riches untold.
Only in you does this happen for me –
I find a cure for my apathy.
And I don’t need others, I don’t need games –
They fell off of me and you stayed in place
Like you always remain once the storm blows past.
I love you, I love you, I love you at last.
