I look and see and gaze
from one realm to the next
endless paths and places
yet hardly they connect
Do you think that windows
from one house to another
gaze through the glass
and to each other wonder
Or is it only us and we
no there are many others
to think we are alone at all
is a purely human blunder
For I have seen there
beyond the portals
into millions of worlds
the lives of mortals
Yet through and beyond
we cannot see
that which only can be shown
by sky and sea
By those above
and so far below
beyond our portals
to places unknown
To darkened houses
broken temples
ages eons old
beyond our mental
Far and away
from what most claim to know
times and places
outside of our flow
Portals abound
they’ve given us a chance
though due to fear
we’ve refused to dance
We shut away
that which we fear
the great unknown
unseen, unhear
Though it grows lounder
closer too
inevitable as death
for you, too soon
Yet as for I
not soon enough
I want you to see
through this worlds bluff
For we are
so far from alone
in every place
and every home
They are with us
they are watching
through infinite portals
to find us wanting
Yet you turn away
choose to cower
live then in fear
until your final hour
Though I insist
I have not shyed
but looked right back
into blackened eyes
Unflinching, unblinking
I began to weep
losing more of myself
until next again we meet.
