Close your eyes & open your hands

Milestone events happen automatically sometimes.

How, what, when, why- you probably never planned;

Yet the biggest and the best falls straight into your lap.

Of course, you've always wished for abundant goodness,

"But, this? Really?"

Have you ever caught yourself wondering?

It might be a different direction, but it'll lead you right;

This is His masterstroke, though the path is out of sight.

He hears your questions, as He works to ease the haze;

Shh! Quieten your thoughts- abide throughout the maze.

The answer to "Who did that?"

There are times when trivial issues harass you;

And nothing that you do seems to be working.

You probably feel annoyed, angry, hurt or stupid.

Your attempts at meditation might also backfire.

But even at the worst moments, a spark lights you up.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, you're freed of every burden.

How, what, when, why- you might never know.

In fact, even the person helping you may not realize.

Behind-the-scenes action happens in real life, too. :)

What does your heart think?

When you look into His eyes and know,

No other could ever look at you, this way;

Is it the sculptor's trumpet to blow?

Or Is it His presence, promising, with you to stay?

When you return His gaze, upon you fixated,

Instead of shifting shyly, your eyes not meeting;

Is it you that hath your self-confidence berated?

Or Is it Him, lessons on faith, teaching?

When you're free of every embarrassment,

In the whole duration that you're just with Him;

Can anybody ever match that sentiment?

Or Of His love, is this only the rim?
