so much bigger than he’d imagined…but then
he’d never
really looked before. Looked and seen.
Her eyes revealed enormity of wisdom and had they always searched
his this way, he wondered.
They commanded his attention so he couldn’t
turn away.
Forced to finally view her beauty, deep and wide and undeniable.
How could he not have known?
But to see her, was to love her;
Love but her, and love for ever.
-Robert Burns
