Analysis of promise



i look
up and see  ETERNITY
in the black between
the lit stars flickering
the promise
of a new space
between the nothingness
of existence
because the hope
of beyond      this world
is a never land
blinded by falling
lights that fade
into the BLISS
that i see
in your eyes at night
when i look
up
