With mistakable purpose, I drew his eyes into mine. It was his soul I was committed to inspect, but what I gazed upon was unforseen. I stared intently at my poignant discovery. The exterior was thick, callused, hardened from years of repeated wounding. Disturbing scars mutilated what was once almost certainly beautiful. I nevertheless felt compelled to enter. A sudden smile appeared providing a soft light which furthered my view. My eyes penetrated his with brilliant precision. I found more than I could have fantasized. It was the sweetest concoction: the innocence of an infant, the mischievousness of a boy, the passion of a man. Available? Yes...but solely on his terms. I took only what my heart could hold. With clear insight, my paradigm was forever altered. And now patience is easy, forgiveness willing, understanding permanently transcended.

very beautiful, Patricia just a suggestion from Ron's guidelines. You may want to edit this while you can, into smaller line breaks as they will look uneven and may run-on on the books pages. *s Maureen |
