My eyes saw it
Looking at the reflection in the water,
She stood facing a being,
Crafted most subtly,
Holding potentials unseen.

Hands clasped, legs straightened,
Head slightly tilted,
Eyes widely open, darting from one side of this being to the other,
Trying to behold the beauty all talked about.

A closer look, as though finding a gem in the mud,
She glanced hard,
Tilted her head more this time,
A little more she pressed.

Then just below her arch
She saw the most beautiful ovals,
White and black
In it, she beheld another reflection of herself.

She is beautiful, she said once,
Then twice, thrice...
Till she screamed it out.
I can finally see, I have beautiful eyes and a pretty heart.
