What My Eyes See Poem by Mark Heathcote

What my eyes see
Is the pathway of light
The nervous system 
Making new connections 
Cells and neurones activating 
A whole universe interactive 
What my eyes see
Is the atom and the neutron
The interplay of everything 
The binary code of life
Rewriting itself selflessly. 
Without end or beginning. 
What my eyes see
Is visionary and yet normal. 
To me. A cosmic light show
With a neon afterglow
That energises my heart.
And touches my soul.
What my eyes see
Is spooky action at a distance?  
The entanglement of everything 
Awakening in a primordial dream 
Life under a microscope 
Never before seen.
What my eyes see
It is no distraction to me.
It is the fabric of my canvas. 
The oils and the watercolours
Of my choice, merging poured out. 
For all to immerse in and be immersed.
