The Revealing Heaven's starlight wafting downwards on gossamer winds Bathes her upturned face in a silver glow What wonderful dreams play across her mind? Her warm, expressive eyes shine from within Radiating such joy and peace of spirit I ache to stand beside her O this woman! Her ghostly white gown flowing around her body as if it were part of her How can such beauty exist on this earthly plane? As if hearing my thoughts she turns to me I am held fast entranced by her magnificence as emerald eyes peer deeply into my soul My body tingles warmth enveloping my heart as she explores seeking all that I am I am naked before her gaze as my every kept secret is revealed to her Both shame and pride shown to her in a single moment And yet I am unafraid for she longs to know me But I question Who am I - What am I when compared to this vision? Again, as if in answer she smiles gently and my questions dissolve in the wave of pure love that sweeps over me I am what I am She knows me and she does not turn away My cheeks glisten with warm, salty tears of exquisite pain I have never known a love as deep, as profound as the love I feel for this woman This vision in the night So I go to join her and I will stand by her side Living in the moment as she takes my hand and leads me into her world © 3/29/00 Gary Pence Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

That is beautiful^. Really profound i think =] As you questioned yourself that way, i too will question you today. Who is she? What is she? From whence does she come??¿ SwampFaeryie And there she weaves by night and day, a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson |

Jonas, What a beautiful spirit she is and one I'm sure will keep you in her care. Very lovely. Sheila ...the earth and myself are of one mind. The measure of the land and the measure of our bodies are the same........... Joseph, Nez Perce Chief |

Thank you for the replies. This poem is about becoming transparent under the gaze of another. "I stand naked before her gaze" means that the character is stripped of all pretenses and all the images we try to project...she sees right through him. Who she is, and what she is really doesn't matter as it could be anyone for any of us. I think we all have had that one moment when another has seen past all the masks that we wear, and found the real person inside. Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |

When someone has the heart to truly see you there is very little you can hide. Gary, this is absolutely beautiful. ...Give me the strength to walk the soft earth, a relative to all that is.... Black Eagle Oglala Sioux holy man |

I love this. So descriptive yet haunting. May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out. Irish proverb. |
