The Path that Beauty Opens

There was a party and you were there. You wanted to talk and laugh but everyone was giving you the cold shoulder. I don't know why. I imagine that is the greed and distraction that prevents them from seeing you. Maybe this was how you were showing me the nature of unrequited love. As you left the building I followed you into the parking lot. I caught up to you and touched you on the shoulder. You turned to me with tears running down your cheeks. I hugged you and said, "I'm so sorry". The tears went away and we chatted and laughed. And then as I turned to go back into the house, you looked at me, and you showed me that you wanted me to come with you.

I know that you have the secret. I know that it's what I want. And I know that very few people understand it. But I understand it. I can feel your beauty opening me up to a new reality.
