If this world is simply a dull reflection of something far more primal,
something far more refined and beautiful...
If all of what I am seeing and tasting and breathing in is like a reflection in a mirror dim...
If those moments of surging joy and heart-popping awe I am given to experience are but precursors of what is to come,
I await Him, and all that He is,
With my heart in my throat and my hands outstretched.
Yes, they are shaking and scarred, but oh, dear Lord, outstretched they are.
