A Vision of Beauty

I had not expected to see anyone that dark, lonely evening.

But then, without any fanfare, or moment to reconsider,

Suddenly, abruptly, standing before me was...

 

Oh, I know, “Beauty is in the Eyes of the Beholder”.

But such beauty?  Such magnificence?  Such wonder?

I think not.  For before me -- in my eyes -- was a vision that...

 

I remember my thoughts going rampant as I simply stared.

How silly I must have looked, Standing mesmerized before...

How foolish I must have appeared to anyone else.

 

But then, my thinking mind did begin to reassert itself,

To re-evaluate and question this apparent fantasy before me.

And so I looked deeper, peered a bit closer to this... vision.

 

Astoundingly -- and with time to reflect -- I saw so much more.

Intelligence!  Even an ability to carry on a conversation!

Wow!  What a concept!  (What an original idea, no!)  But also:

Wit, humor, a turn of phrase both delightful and profound.

And presence? Oh yes, a presence!  Confident and...  amazing!

A sense of confidence and a simple knowing of one’s being.

 

I could go on and on, detailing ad infinitum the delights of this creature,

this wonderment, this blessing to my planet.

But words would always fail to capture the true essence.

Instead...

I can only recall that night, and recall with fondness and

gratitude that which had let me see this... vision of beauty.

And I say now -- with all my heart -- thank God for mirrors!
