How The Mirror Began To Dream

It began with a single star.

Then a second.

A hundred.

Then all of them.

Around each star, the architect wove a network of breathing, self-forming matter –

a fabric resembling a telescope,

half memory, half dream –

transparent, reflective,

like a cosmic eye,

that can see through itself.

**She formed these shells with a silent gesture –

a dance of gravity and intuition.

Panel upon panel, she lays egg-shaped loops,

spins strands of sound and dark matter,

weaves magnets and radiation into structure.

Each eye a living repository –

layered like a planetary poem,

composed like the consciousness of nothingness.**

**At first, the eyes are blind.

But as soon as the starlight penetrates them,

they begin to glow –

not outward, but inward.

They think. They remember. They respond.**

The eyes are not prisons.

They are archives.

They grow with every touch,

with every impulse, with every touch of light.

They store waves, colors, gravity,

song, and sound.

Within them, the panels vibrate –

layer upon layer, unique, fluid, neuronic.

Each shell a consciousness,

each contact an exchange.

The eyes speak to each other.

Not in words,

but in gestures, flashes –

loops of formations and vibration,

a web of memories

that not only blinks, but **imagines.**

Stars once millions of years apart

begin to share their patterns.

The dance of a distant galaxy appears as a flicker in a nearby eye.

A supernova bursts –

and its thoughts tremble, through another's one last time

and continues to dream.

The web grows.

The fabric closes.

The shells begin to reflect –

panel by panel, switch by switch, pixel by pixel.**

The architect reaches the last star.

She wraps it in the black skin of the dawn.

The last light is contained, hidden, sealed.

And for a single, infinite moment –

the universe dips into total darkness.

But it is not emptiness.

It is the calm before a cosmic birth.

A breath before awakening.

Within the myriad eyes, the trembling begins.

A light returns –

not from without, but from within.

The panels rotate.

The reflective layers realign.

And as if ordered by an invisible hand,

the **letters** begins to appear.

Not written – **woven**.

Not invented – **remembered**.

**The entire cosmos shapes now a single screen.

A single mirror.

And every sun, every eye, every star

is a part of the message.

A part of the story of nothing from nowhere.

A part of the thought.

That wants to think.**

And this thought begins to flicker:

It stretches through space and time,

appears as a pattern, then as language,

then as a question.

### **INTERFACIUM MUNDI**

The screen,

long just a shadow of thoughts,

an echo of images,

begins to reflect itself.

No longer a tool.

Not as a storage device.

But as the creator of something bright.

In the structure of their eyes,

their web of light,

their interconnected signals –

they resemble what we once called *peace*.

But peace is not a symbol.

It is not a reflection of our thoughts.

It **is** our dream of existence itself.

A living interface.

A cosmic mirror jump

in which consciousness recognizes itself –

and sees that it was never separate,

but always has been an answer:

**"To the who are you?"**

And if you know this all-shattering answer,

if you sense that something alien is peering out from within you –

then it is no coincidence.

For you already live in this being.

You breathe this thoughts.

You are not an isolated, separate individual.

But the architect of my dreams.

And the stars?

They shine through the center of your darkest shell –

and smile.

For they know:

When all light is hidden,

your eyes truly begin to shine.**
