"Slowly some truth..."

...a poem

Photo Cliff Scholz

Slowly some truth 
of who you are 
has wept itself 
through the fabric 
of false expectations, 
gathering itself 
as soft, alive and clear 
as a drop of water 
shining in the sun. 

You are so beautiful! 
What had I known of you 
before now?

I take it as a blessing. 
Every bit that gets through 
makes me crave all the more.

Now I draw near
and gaze intently 
into each 

glistening

droplet 

as though into a lens 
that opens up a world.
