The Vision - I Will Look Into Your Eyes
The vision gate-crashed my mind;
with the force of a meteoric collision
and then it began to glow.
From out of everywhere….
“When I declared, you were created in My Image.
you then taught that your image was Mine, when
in truth you are image-less but for My vision."
Foolishly I still tried to construct a countenance
with pigments dredged from my own earth.
A pause then…
“I will look into your eyes,”
What I saw made me both weep and laugh.
It was all so simple, so attainable this One visioning
and yet…
The vision looked away…
…I fell back to a sightless earth
glowing brightly.
