The Everything Guardian

[TornMoon]

In my dreams I met a girl

Floating out in space

I thought that I knew her,

But I didn’t recognize her face
 

And we talked like we’re same

With intertwining fates

And in her eyes I could see

We were more than just soul mates

 

Like crystalline she spoke

The words that she transpired

Picking only fragments

Of the knowledge she’d acquired

 

She said I offer you a chance
to fulfill an odd obsession

We are each lacking something

In the other one’s possession

 

She said The Everything connects

Yet it’s all so far apart

As she looked out in the blackness

At the distance to stars

 

I can see all in The Everything

And I’ll offer you the power

To see what you can see

But only for an hour

And in exchange I’ll be free

To see how you see

And after a time we’ll go back

To the way we used to be

 

She said people are alike

But, I’m so very different

I explore The Everything

The Everything’s my realm

But you can be like me

With eternity to see

Existence…what a strange word

When you’re standing at its helm

 

And before I could answer

She knew of my reply

Like an echo of that moment

Resounded in the sky

 

And as I tried to form the words

Time was swept away

I could feel The Everything

Like a magical array

 

I looked and I saw me

Staring back at me

Which was her inside my body

Something I could not foresee

 

And then, just like that

She was gone and I was there

Staring at The Everything

Alone yet so aware

 

Questions make more answers

In The Everything you find

And answers make more questions

Than answers can define

 

Cause The Everything connects

Yet it’s all so far apart

And you can dwell inside the past

Where The Everything would start

 

Cause The Everything connects

And time can be transcended

If you wished you could see

Just how The Everything had ended

 

And the hour went by quickly

Yet it never seemed to end

And once again I laid eyes

On The Everything Guardian

 

And just like before

As quickly as can be

We switched places once again

With her looking back at me

 

And happily she thanked me

Though her happiness seemed sad

In The Everything, all seems infinite

Cause its everything you’ve had

 

There are only silly little pleasures

Cause The Everything you knew

Is never changing

As others pass on through

 

I knew this from the glimpses

I had in that short time

I asked her did she discover

What she had set herself to find

 

She looked as to the ground

But it was still the stars above

And said “My existence is in solitude

While people search for love”

 

That’s what makes people all alike

While I’m so very different

I explore The Everything

The Everything’s my realm

But you, you’re just like me

With eternity to see

Existence…I shall miss it

While I’m standing at its helm

 

My time in The Everything

Was coming to an end

And I couldn’t say if I’d see

The star born girl again

 

I thanked her for the time

And before I left I said

“You should give up The Everything

And have something your own instead”

 

And as she kissed me

Gently on the cheek

I closed my eyes for an eternity

Or was it only for a blink

 

But, when I opened them I found

I awoke inside my bed

With the girl and The Everything

Just thoughts inside my head

 

I know people are alike

Yet still so very different

I explored The Everything

The Everything is well

But she, she was just like me

With eternity to see

But Her existence had an ending

That’s different thanks to me
