You think you've been seen,
Then someone looks at you for the first time.

You think you've been heard,
Then someone listens to your deepest desires and fears.

You think you've seen beauty,
Then someone lifts the veil, revealing yet another layer.

You think you know what love is,
Then you find yourself wrapped inside of it.

You think you understand mankind,
Then a stranger's act of kindness moves you to tears.

You think you can recognize the heavens and perhaps grasp infinity,
But that, we must all wait in wonder for the great reveal.
