I see you standing there


I see you standing there,
looking through the tree.  

Your eyes are squinting.

Shielding from 
the harsh sunlight
blasting through the leaves. 

Blinding sun. 

So bright you can't see anything else.




I know.  I saw that too.
My eyes still adjusting.
I stand here looking at the
exact same tree.
My eyes relax 
as I soak in the sunlight
softly highlighting the beauty
 that I was blind to moments before.



Beauty was there the whole time.  
I just couldn't see it. 

I only needed to walk to the other side of the tree.
