401 ~ Bindings Poem by stan pelfrey

Believe me,
I am as real as I seem,
even if I feel like a dream.

What was it I saw in your eyes?
Was it a glimmer of light
from across the room, or a
brightness lit from within?

Some familiar things in life
are good to return to, like
the cowbell in “Honky Tonk
Women, ” or that light in
your eyes.

Can you open your mind
to a new, powerful sensation,
the likes of which you have
never been witness to?

Two stars can burn together
in the same universe, if given
a chance. Within a sphere
where all is connected
by romance.

A vision of equality may
come to those, whose minds
are free of time and all
illusions, the unchaining ‘be.’

We, you and I, can break the
spell of the dream, and be
together in this universe or
world or whatever binds
us together.
