My
Eyes Are Opened
Love fills my heart. My eyes and
my mind have been opened to endless possibilities. The angels have brought
sunshine to a place where only clouds of uncertainty once existed. Hope and
prayer have been replaced with peace and gratitude.
The past is gone and the veil of
darkness has been lifted. The hurt, the pain, the loneliness, are forever a
part of that past. Those all-consuming emotions, once buried and stored as
searing reminders of failure, are freed from my soul, now only serving as
shadowy signposts along a winding, forked road.
The angels opened my eyes and I
saw a warm, friendly smile. I saw beautiful brown eyes that shone like a beacon
of truth and felt a touch that warmed my once-frozen heart. I looked and saw,
for the very first time, love in all its manifest glory.
When I let go of my past, I tore
down the wall and opened my heart. The fear of failure was gone. There were no
mistakes, only moments of learning. The fear of being hurt and rejected were
removed. The fear of commitment was no more.
My gift from heaven keeps me in
the now. With a giving heart, she fills the room with compassion and the love
that emanates from her soul is soothing to all who surround her. Like a daily
dose of happiness, she lifts my spirit and reminds me of the precious offerings
I receive daily, once taken for granted.
Like a magnet she pulls me in,
drawing me to her warmth, encouraging me to be just that – me. A flirting
glance and the touch of her hand send me cascading into an ocean of endless
love and I realize that nothing else really matters. All that I have is all
that I need.
I picture us together, curled up
in a lovers’ embrace, and think about a future – our future – growing old,
still hand-in-hand, still smitten like high school sweethearts. And while time
is just an illusion and the only real thing is the present, it feels like I
have loved her forever.
I asked the Universe for help. I
asked the Creator for happiness. I opened my eyes and there, standing in the
sunlight, was the answer. Love is the answer – and she is beautiful.
