Naked to the Eye

The moon is my blanket tonight,
the breeze, my flowing night gown
I am clothed only in my soul,
Which stepped outside of me to see
The outer world

I am naked only to the eye
But my skin wraps around me in
The aura of my spiritual self
And I feel clothed in glimmering silk

My eyes have not the emptiness of death
But only the absence of life

The glimmers of moon and stars
In my eyes
Are but a reflection of thought
And not a portrait of my essence

If you cannot see who I am,
Look not at my nakedness as beauty
Look not into my empty glimmering eyes
For you do not yet know me

When I am clothed in cotton
And the moon and stars are hidden
And you truly see the beauty of who I am
Then you may say,

“I love you”

Elizabeth Santos

SO much beauty and truth in this that many overlook in life... thank you for reminding me

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
