See Me Not…. Poem by Cyclopseven R

See me not in your mind
Nor my reflection in the mirror
For I may not be there in truth
But, only the false impression
Trained by your mind.

See me not through your eyes
Nor my physical visibly carved
For I may not appear the same ever
But, may change with time
Your eyes may deceive you.

Hear me not through your ears
Nor the resounding vibes of my voice
For I may not be exactly that
But, to deceive you the voice may change with age
And your ears may cheat you well.

Touch me not with your hands
Nor, feel the warmth that heats
For, I may not remain warm ever
But, only the sensation you feel
And your skin may convert you unto a fool.

Feel me in the friendship of the heart
Void of music and dance still it steadily remain
For I am not what you see or feel
Beyond that, a world lies still
And to that I belong eternally.

And I am nothing but eternity
And eternity speaks only the language of the dead – silence.
