The beauty of brokenness

It was a silent moment
of sudden trust
when her eyes met mine.

I dived into the clear blue
waters of innocence
and pain.

Her brokenness was stunning.
All her beauty revealed
with sensual dignity.

Her eyes reflected all the
heavy matters of life.
Her smile was mysterious.

I was drawn to her being.
I was touched by her soul.
A short moment of wonder.

And then, I recognised myself.
