i looked God in the eyes

heart eyes kind

i looked God in the eyes

and truly, he was kind.

he smiled at my bravery

and told me i was blind

—i asked for sight—

but he quietly reminded me

that i found my way here

why do i need eyes?

i knew my concern was

others. he reached behind me

and lifted a heart

—here is a much better place to start—

i smiled and took it,

warm and calm—

little did i know,

it was his own.

Ps 97.1-6
