i love you

a million glances

and all of them blind

how many times have i looked in the mirror

and not seen what is there?

i never just sat there

being present

seeing the beauty before me

today

for the first time

i looked in the mirror

and saw

God

saw

Defenselessness

so beautiful

so innocent

just being

what it is

i saw something i didn't make

i saw creation

i saw extension

i saw purity

just being

i sat there

just looking

and saw

only Love

i saw the Peace

i offer to the world

while being blind to it myself

i saw the dichotomy

of looking at me from the outside

and looking at me from within

and i saw

how blind

i have been

today we would see ourselves

as God sees us

when we look in the mirror

all we can see is God

God is the only one there

because God

is

the

only One here

God looking out

sees only God

and all She can say is

i love you

i love you

i love you

i love you

i love you.................
