Look Into These Eyes

Walking by the mirror, I take a momentary glance,

not lingering long until one day, lured as if in a trance.

Looking, I see another peering through

whispering ever so tenderly, I LOVE YOU.

I love you, I love you, those words gently cascading,

tears stream down my face, the veil parts, no more evading.

Every grace-filled drop cleansing layers of brokenness and shame,

unconditional love flowing through, I will never be the same.

That impassioned stare speaks volumes to my pain,

acknowledging the gift, the beauty that’s always been

yearning for that gaze to affirm the truth inside,

I see you, I love you, no longer shall you hide.

A soul lost in forgetting, masked by layers of suffering,

longing for these eyes, my eyes miraculously uncovering

my divine reflection penetrating the depths of my being,

transfixed now, I have a new way of seeing.

Walking out into the world, these love-filled eyes burning,

seeking to look into the eyes of all, to assist in their returning.

Neighbors, children, and those who pass along the street,

may this glowing affection, flames of love reach out to all I greet.

I see you, I love you, I am you, and you are me,

look into these eyes, and you too will see

Divinity, your own reflection gazing back at you,

reminding you of what you always knew.

Looking away in neglect, we quickly disremember

to acknowledge the truth, fan the flame of light-filled embers.

Within glow beauty’s luminescence,

unconditional love our core’s true essence.

I see you, I love you, I am you, and you are me,

look into these eyes, and you too will see

Divinity, your own reflection gazing back at you,

reminding you of what you always knew.
