To Show You is To Know You

When I see something beautiful, I want to share it with you

I have no patience for camera settings

Or talent for brush strokes

I fail to describe it in words

But love often begs us to try

and so I do

When I see something beautiful, its often the ordinary

but I don’t have to tell you that

Your life’s work is revealing its rarity

So I can skip the explanation

and describe it to you with my eyes

See they are like yours

Predisposed to what’s golden.

When I see something beautiful, its often complicated

Not just what exists in this moment

but what has been

The heartache in possibility

Thoughts that sit between eyebrows

Yet you are weaved into all of my memories

So my furrow prompts your knowing.

When I see something beautiful, I see you

Without you, it can only Be

For you are what makes beauty possible.
