Infinity

Infinity is darkness continuous

With no end or hope in sight,

Infinity is timeless, delirious

Passion that burns in flight.


Infinity is expectation

Of exhaltation and fall

Infinity is explanation

Of all the things you cannot recall


Infinity is grass on a meadow

That does not have an end,

Infinity is the shadow

That you try to catch in hand


Infinity is a golden wire

Stretched to completion and in it spent,

Infinity is desire

Reaching out despite your intent,


Infinity is two mirrors

Reflecting each other and through them you,

Infinity is unclear

Infinity is sky blue


To vanish into infinity

Is to become indistinct,

To lose all affinity

For all that you feel and think,


To lose barriers and resolution

And to become not your own,

To welcome destitution

And wealth in one,


To merge with incandescent divinity

And be enough apart

To love it; yes, to achieve continuity

Of mind and heart;


To shine continuously and eternally 

And never begin to end

To love intentionally and infernally

To make home of both sea and land


To know infinity is to extinguish

To reduce man to single gasp

To love infinity is to distinguish

True eternity from death's grasp


To live infinity is to know

That there is nothing else true -

Infinity is the flow

Between I and You -


Infinity is not seeing

But being the thing that is will,

Infinity is the streaming

Of time over the hill,


Infinity is truth that is shimmering

Somewhere between night and day;

Infinity is fire that is simmering

Infinity is molding clay


Infinity is intensity

And so, say I,

Infinity is immensity

Within your eye.
