Like a Cat Looking Out a Window At Night

What do you see?
Perched upon the mantel
Eyes focused on the void
Unblinking,
Captivated by nothing

Or maybe not.

Maybe you see something we often overlook

Maybe you see some distant movement in the shadows,
Skulking through ink

Maybe you sees stars so dim
They’ve gone unwished upon by the human eye

Maybe you see a world we’re too blind to believe can exist in the Sun

What do you see?

For when I stand beside you,
Behind that very same mantel,
All I see is my reflection in the glass that seperates me from what lies beyond.

Yet deep down I know
That there is a possibility
We are still seeing the same thing.
