behind those eyes

What's behind those eyes
I ask myself as I journey
into your space
I feel welcomed and safe
a place I've never been to
but seem to already know

I see beyond the visual
I see beyond the surface
it runs through me
and hits all my senses
and I know that's where I should be

What's behind those eyes
is a place for knowing
It's quiet and gentle
but don't stay long
the knowing can't sustain
the company

Behind those eyes
is a creature, curious and wounded
healing with nectar
from the root of truth
Yet the wound does not heal-
it does not heal
Because there is no wound
