Jasmin Grider Poetry

It's when I look at you-
The love I can't overcome-
And the feeling of lost pain-
Found joy-
It's when I look at you that the waters of the ocean become still-
And you, my love, are with me-
It's when I look at you that the stars fall from the sky-
Creating a beauty unlike any other-
It's when I look at you, that nothing else in this world is in sight-
Not a sunrise, or a sunset-
Not if the sun and the moon intertwined so that night and day were as one-
No not anything else-
It's when I look at you that I realize that nothing is as beautiful as the sight-
When I realize that there is a heaven on this very Earth-
And we in fact are in it-
When I realize that beauty, love, faith, and trust are all but one single thing-
It's every time I look at you when I can't thank God more-
That he can create and give the gift of creation-
He has taught so many things-
I have learned so many things-
Through times when being found was lost and being lost was only a dream-
It's when I look at you that I see my soul in your eyes, because that's all that's in your heart.
