-Second Sight
-Sometimes, you need the ocean light,
-    and colors you've never seen before
-        painted through an evening sky.
-Sometimes you need your God
-    to be a simple invitation,
-        not a telling word of wisdom.
-Sometimes you need only the first shyness
-    that comes from being shown things
-        far beyond your understanding,
-so that you can fly and become free
-    by being still and by being still here.
-And then there are times you need to be
-    brought to ground by touch
-        and touch alone.
-To know those arms around you
-    and to make your home in the world.
-        just by being wanted.
-To see those eyes looking back at you,
-    as eyes should see you at last,
-seeing you, as you always wanted to be seen,
-    seeing you, as you yourself
-        had always wanted to see the world.
